Bridge Repairs on WIS 145 in Milwaukee County Beginning

Repairs begin the week of March 11 to six bridges on WIS 145, southeast of Menomonee Falls on the direct route between here and Milwaukee.

The bridges are over Little Menomonee River Parkway, West Mill Road and North 92nd Street, in both directions. Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction until the work is completed, according to a press release from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

The eastbound on ramp to WIS 145 from 91st Street will be closed, and a detour takes drivers south to Silver Spring on 91st, then west to Fond du Lac Avenue.

Other traffic impacts are as follows: 

• Westbound WIS 145 exit to Green Tree Road/102^nd Street (exit 10A) will be closed during stage 1 only
• Little Menomonee River Parkway and West Mill Road will be closed periodically, though never at the same time.
• The Oak Leaf Trail, which runs along Little Menomonee River Parkway, will be detoured via W. Mill Road.

 The contractor, Zenith Tech, plans to complete the job by late November.
