WisDOT is continuing a resurfacing and improvement project along I-41/43/894 through the Hale Interchange, between Lincoln Avenue and 84th Street, in Milwaukee County, with completion in late 2026. As part of that work, an extended full closure of the Oak Leaf Trail is scheduled to take place.
Week of July 27:
• The Oak Leaf Trail is scheduled to be fully closed, between just north of Layton Avenue and Cold Spring Road, for approximately 3 months while crews work on bridge repairs over the trail.
Detour Route:
• Trail users are encouraged to use Layton Avenue, WIS 100 (108th Street), and Cold Spring Road to get around this closure.
Please see the attached project brief for more information.
