Traffic changes happening in the next 7 days: (Reminder that you can check out WIS 120 Rehabilitation – Walworth County (511wi.gov) for updates and help navigating the construction zones in the area.)

  • Road closed to all traffic from Honey Creek Road to the northbound ramps for IH-43 in both directions of travel from Monday August 28th 6:00 AM to Friday September 1st 12:00 PM.  The shutdown is required to remove damaged concrete pavement and replace it.  Due to the nature of concrete work and how long concrete takes to set, the closure may extend beyond 12:00 PM on September 1st, but all attempts to open the roadway by that time will be made.  Residential and business traffic WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH CLOSED SEGMENT.  Please plan accordingly.
  • Road closed to all traffic is set to begin on Tuesday September 5th 6:00 AM through Thursday September 7th 10:00 PM from the IH-43 NB Entrance Ramp to the IH-43 SB Entrance and Exit Ramps, along with the NB IH-43 Exit Ramp to STH 120.  Residential and business traffic WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH CLOSED SEGMENT.  Please plan accordingly.
