While work itself will stop over the Fourth of July weekend, drivers may still face lane closures and construction zones across Wisconsin.

The state Department of Transportation says construction will stop by noon Friday and will not resume until Tuesday.

Still, the amount of traffic on the road is still expected to make travel challenging, especially during peak hours – between noon and 8 p.m. Friday and between noon and 8 p.m. Monday.

Current information on work zones and traffic incidents can be found by calling 511 or online at the DOT’s 511wi.gov website.
