To enhance traffic flow and accommodate higher traffic volumes expected over the Memorial Day weekend, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation will temporarily halt construction work on many highway improvement projects across the state. Although workers will open as many highway lanes as possible, motorists should still allow extra travel time and expect slower traffic in work zones and during peak travel periods. Construction in most highway work zones will stop by noon on Friday May 25th, and will not resume until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29th. Peak travel times for the holiday weekend are expected to occur between noon and 8 p.m. on both Friday May 25th and Monday May 28th.
