This project will resurface and make various improvements to multiple ramps to/from I-43/94 between the Mitchell Interchange and the Marquette Interchange. Ramps to receive improvements include:
- Howard Avenue ramps
- Holt Avenue ramps
- Lapham Boulevard ramps
- National Avenue and 6th Street ramps
Additional project improvements:
- Partial deck replacement on Howard Avenue bridge over I-43
- Bridge deck overlay on Lapham Boulevard and Howard Avenue bridges over I-43
Traffic Impacts:
Motorists can expect overnight ramp closures for paving operations and daily lane closures for intersection work and bridge deck overlays.
Northbound I-43 exit ramp to Holt Avenue to close for approximately 30 days for pavement replacement.
Multiple overnight closures of I-43 and Howard Avenue bridge for critical bridge operations.
Additional ramp and lane closures will take place as needed. Closures of consecutive ramps will be avoided.
