Menomonee River Bridge Construction To Limit Traffic

WAUWATOSA, WI — The City of Milwaukee will be replacing the bridge decks, sidewalks, roadway approaches, upgrading storm sewer relays, and installing new street lights near the bridge over the Menomonee River.

Residents in the Wauwatosa area can expect Burleigh Street to be reduced to one lane for several weeks near this bridge. This project starts in May and will be completed in November 2019.

Wauwatosa officials said that in order to minimize how road construction will impact residents, businesses, and the traveling public, the rehabilitation project will be split into two stages:

Stage 1: The north side of Burleigh Street will be closed for construction. One lane of traffic in each direction will be provided on the south side of the street. Pedestrian access shall be maintained on the south side of the street.

Stage 2: The south side of Burleigh Street will be closed for construction. One lane of traffic in each direction will be provided on the north side of the street. Pedestrian access shall be maintained on the north side of the street.

Other Questions:

• City staff and the contractor will work to minimize the amount of time any driveway access is restricted.
• Bus Route 60 will maintain its regular route and schedule within the work zone. Unanticipated stop alterations will be signed to redirect passengers as needed.
• On-street parking is not allowed.
• Work is allowed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
