The I-94 North-South Freeway Project is well underway in both Racine and Kenosha counties. This weekend the project will see its first long term closure in Milwaukee County with the start of the reconstruction of the Ryan Road Park and Ride.

The Park and Ride is expected closed early Sunday morning, and will remain closed until late Fall 2018 for reconstruction. Drivers that would normally use this Park and Ride should use the College Ave. one for the duration of this closure.

Along with this closure the project also entails the reconstructing the Ryan Rd. overpass bridges, the entrance and exit ramps to and from I-94, and adjacent retaining walls and sign structures. It also includes three culvert extensions along I-94 at Puetz Rd. and Drexel Ave. If you’re traveling in the area be prepared for the following changes over the course of the year:

The aforementioned Ryan Road Park and Ride which is now closed
Single lanes along Ryan Road will be open heading eastbound and westbound across the bridge.
Ramps to remain open throughout the project (except for minor short term closure to match new roadway configuration)
Minimal impacts to I-94 mainline.

As with most changes in our area be sure to plan on extra time if you use these routes for either of your commutes. Be sure to follow @ABrovelli on twitter and watch the CBS 58 Morning News for the latest on the I-94 North-South Freeway Project and other construction throughout southeastern WI.
