Wisconsin Eagle/10243465

(MADISON, Wis.) ~ On the evening of September 1, Atwood Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin will be open to two-way traffic between Walter Street and Fair Oaks Avenue. City of Madison Project Manager Andrew Zwieg said that the project is currently on pace to be completed on schedule by November 1, 2023.

Vehicles should use caution in the area and follow the posted routes as crews continue to work in the area. Access to side streets in the area will also be restored, with the exception of Oakridge Avenue.

Traffic traveling inbound/toward downtown from Cottage Grove Road to Walter Street will continue to be restricted to a single lane on the lake side of the street. Dennett Drive, Margaret Street and Olbrich Avenue will remain inaccessible from Atwood Avenue while crews build new infrastructure at those intersections. Vehicles, bikes and pedestrians should continue to use Walter Street as the main local access point.

There is no outbound access on Atwood Avenue from Walter Street to Cottage Grove Road. Vehicles traveling away from downtown should plan to use an existing detour which routes traffic from Atwood Avenue to Fair Oaks Avenue to Milwaukee Street to US 51/Stoughton Road to Cottage Grove Road and back to Atwood Avenue.

The multi-use path on the lake side of Atwood Avenue remains closed between Walter Street and Oakridge Avenue/Sugar Avenue as crews continue work on a pedestrian bridge at Starkweather Creek. Pedestrians traveling near the creek may cross Atwood Avenue at Walter Street or at Olbrich Botanical Gardens for pedestrians wishing to access the lake near Welch Avenue. Metro Transit users can view route information on their website: cityofmadison.com/metro for more information about their routes during this time period.

The City of Madison Project Manager Andrew Zwieg said that this traffic switch marks a significant milestone for the Atwood Avenue reconstruction project and that it is currently on pace for completion by November 1, 2023.
