WisDOT to Suspend Major Road Construction for Fourth of July Weekend

To help accommodate heavy holiday weekend traffic, WisDOT is suspending most major highway projects — including work on I-94 in St. Croix County — for the holiday weekend, according to a WisDOT press release.

From the release:

“To keep holiday traffic flowing as smoothly as possible, most construction and planned repairs in work zones will cease by around noon on Wednesday, July 3, and will resume on Friday, July 5. On some highways, construction might not resume until Monday, July 8,” says Don Greuel of the WisDOT Project Services Section. “However, heavy traffic during the holiday will still make driving through work zones especially challenging. To prevent crashes, drivers must slow down, pay attention and not tail-gate when approaching and traveling through work zones. Rear-end collisions caused primarily by speeding, distracted driving and following other vehicles too closely are the most frequent type of crash in work zones.”
