The Lake Mendota Bridge project is preparing to start placing the bridge structure pieces. In order to facilitate the large equipment that will be coming in and to ensure the safety of vehicular traffic, the west-bound lane of Lake Mendota Drive will be closed to thru-traffic beginning at Wood Lane beginning at 7am Friday, September 22 and will remain closed until at least October 20 but may need to remain closed until the project is completed. Currently, the project is on schedule to be completed by October 30. Westbound traffic on Lake Mendota Drive will need to detour onto Wood Lane, North on Edgehill Drive, and then West on Edgehill Pkwy back to Lake Mendota Drive (the southbound lane of Edgehill Drive between Lake Mendota Drive and Edgehill Parkway) will be closed during this time period. The northbound lane of Edgehill Drive will remain open and right turns only will be permitted onto eastbound Lake Mendota Drive.
Please see the attached map for a complete picture of the closure. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience.
