Announcements

The following announcements are specific to the trucking community. To see a complete list of all construction announcements, please visit the Construction Announcements Page.

   Motorists Alert for West Central Freeway Projects (between Eau Claire to Osseo), Fridays - Sundays

MOTORIST ALERT - Due to HEAVY CONGESTION on FRIDAY and SUNDAY afternoons between Eau Claire and Osseo,  motorists are strongly encouraged to use alternate routes.  EB traffic should EXIT at US-53 (#70), WB Traffic should exit at WI-121 (#98) and  follow alternate route signs.

I-94 is an east-west principal arterial through Wisconsin that carries interstate traffic from the borders at Minnesota and Illinois. It serves as a significant connection between the Twin Cities in Minnesota to Chicago and plays a major role in the transportation of goods and services.

Work is underway to make improvements along the 117-mile corridor that include replacing and rehabilitating bridges, improving interchanges, and repairing and resurfacing deteriorating concrete.

We ask for your patience as we make improvements to this critical stretch of interstate in Wisconsin.

For more information regarding this, please check out the West Central Freeway Projects page.

   IL-47 Project in Yorkville

Effective 4/29/2013 the three-year three-mile pavement replacement project on IL 47 through Yorkville from IL-71 to US 34 will begin. Traffic will be maintained using staged construction, and work will be performed day and night. Lane width will be reduced throughout the project.

   WI-169 Springtime Load Limitations

Pursuant to Section 349.16 (1) (a) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northwest Region announced the seasonal posting of weight limits on area state highways.

The weight restrictions are 6 tons gross load for single axle vehicles and 10 tons gross load for tandem axle vehicles (any two axles under 8 feet apart). The maximum gross weight is 24 tons. School buses, trucks hauling milk, garbage, heating fuel and septic materials are exempt from seasonal load limits in accordance with section 349.16 (3) Wisconsin Statutes.

Seasonal weight restrictions are effective as of noon on Friday, March 29, 2013 on the following highways:

  • WI-169, Ashland County, WI-13 northeast to the Iron County line
  • WI-169, Iron County, Ashland County line northeast to WI-2

Seasonal weight restrictions are placed on specific highways during the spring thaw period. The restrictions are added to routes that have poor foundations, with the goal of preventing pavement damage from legal-weight loads. In the event of unpredicted cold weather, the postings in each county may be delayed as conditions require and will become effective at the discretion of the State Highway Engineer.

   I-39 Construction in North Central Wisconsin to Run through August

Crews plan to begin work on three bridges along I-39 between Marathon County C and Locker Road. The schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions.

Improvements include:

  • County C – bridge painting, concrete repair on the existing bridge railing, and repair of the existing slope paving below the bridge.
  • WI-34 interchange – bridge deck replacement in stages, bridge painting, repair of the existing slope paving below the bridge, and replacement of the guard rail on the roadway approaches.
  • Locker Road – concrete overlay of the bridge deck, bridge painting, repair of the existing slope paving below the bridge, and replacement of the guard rail on the roadway approaches.

During construction, motorists on I-39 can expect to encounter single lane closures and speed reductions. Several nighttime freeway closures will be necessary. During the freeway closures, traffic will be detoured via interchange ramps. Other traffic impacts include:

  • Traffic on Marathon County C will temporarily be reduced to one lane using flagging operations.
  • WI-34 at the interchange with I-39 will be reduced to one NB lane, with no SB traffic over the bridge. This is scheduled to occur as soon as crews begin work and will continue until late June/early July.
    1. Motorists on NB I-39, who want to go south on WI-34 will be detoured via the WI-153 interchange (Exit 179, Mosinee)
    2. Motorists on Balsam Rd, who want to travel south on WI-34 or south on I-39, will be detoured via the WI-153 interchange (Exit 179, Mosinee)
  • Locker Rd will be closed to traffic during the deck overlay and approach work. No formal detour will be posted.

Construction is scheduled for completion by mid-August 2013.

   Trucker's Report Wins ITS Midwest Project of the Year for 2010

On November 4th, 2010, the Travel Midwest Truckers Report won the ITS Midwest Project of the Year award.  While commercial vehicles provide a significant portion of the traffic on both interstates and arterials in the Travel Midwest area, there was no single location where the unique data needs of the trucking community were addressed. As a result, it was determined that the revised Travelmidwest.com web site should have a section addressing the unique commercial carrier needs. This section is titled the Travel Midwest Truckers Report.
