Westbound I-894 will remain open to traffic during the closure period.
DOT said the closure is part of the ongoing I-894 resurfacing project and will allow crews to complete final paving operations along the corridor. Last week, crews closed westbound lanes.
The work will be conducted during a scheduled 54-hour closure this weekend. To prepare for the main closure, the eastbound I-894 exit ramp to Wisconsin Highway 36 (Loomis Road) will close starting at 9 p.m. Thursday, June 12.
I-894 Detours
Motorists are encouraged to use other regional routes such as Interstate 43, Interstate 41 and Interstate 94 to navigate around the closures.
Access to businesses and residences will be maintained throughout the construction period. All work is weather-dependent and subject to change, according to DOT.
