MILWAUKEE COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) — Gov. Tony Evers has approved an $18.1 million project to resurface a nearly three-mile stretch of WIS 100 and replace bridges over the Menomonee River in Milwaukee County. WisDOT project documents confirm the work extends from Burleigh Street to Silver Spring Drive and includes replacement of two WIS 100 bridges over the Menomonee River.

The project covers WIS 100, also known as Mayfair Road and Lovers Lane.

Improvements include roadway repairs and resurfacing, new paths beneath the WIS 100 bridges to improve pedestrian access, curb ramp upgrades to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards, traffic signal improvements, new signs and pavement markings.

Construction will affect traffic in two stages.

During the first stage, WIS 100 will be closed at the Menomonee River while the bridges are replaced. A posted detour will use Burleigh Street, I-41 and WIS 190, or Capitol Drive.

During the second stage, drivers should expect various lane closures while resurfacing work takes place throughout the corridor between Burleigh Street and Silver Spring Drive.

Local access to businesses and residences will be maintained during construction.

Bridge replacement work is scheduled to begin in late September and last about one year.

Milling and paving are expected to begin in spring 2027, with the overall project scheduled for completion in fall 2027.

Construction is expected to begin the week of Sept. 21.
