Prepare for these long-term closures along I-43 in summer and fall 2024
Drivers will continue to see construction and road closures this summer and fall on Interstate 43 as part of the north-south reconstruction project between Silver Spring Drive in Glendale and Highway 60 in Grafton.
Construction for the project started in 2021 to expand I-43 from four to six lanes and reconstruct five existing interchanges. The project also includes the expansion of Port Washington Road, between Bender and Daphne roads, from two lanes to four lanes.
