NORTH TEUTONIA AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) will conduct a reconstruction project of North Teutonia Avenue from West Garfield Avenue to West Groeling Avenue beginning Monday, April 29, 2019, weather permitting. To minimize how construction will impact residents, businesses, and the traveling public, the project will be split into two major stages* with anticipated completion in December 2019:
Stage 1 (beginning the week of April 29): The southbound lane of North Teutonia Avenue will be closed for construction. One lane of northbound traffic will be maintained on the east side of the roadway. Side streets on the west side of the project will be closed. The following intersections will be open to east-westbound through traffic: North Ave, Locust and Center.
Stage 2: The northbound lane of North Teutonia Avenue will be closed for construction. One lane of southbound traffic will be maintained on the newly completed roadway. Side streets on the east side of the project will be closed. The following intersections will be open to east-westbound through traffic: North Ave, Locust and Center.
The project will remove the deteriorated pavement and replacing it with new concrete pavement, curbs & gutters, and driveway approaches. The addition of traffic calming measures, including curb bump outs and medians, will also be added. All sidewalk and pedestrian curb ramps will be rebuilt. New street lighting will be installed throughout the project and traffic signals will be replaced at intersections. The finished roadway will have one driving lane, bicycle lane and parking lane in each direction.
Pedestrian access will be maintained to abutting properties during construction with the least amount of inconvenience. Short-term disruptions will occur when sidewalks are being removed and rebuilt.
Bus Route: #12 will be re-routed via 7th/8th from Walnut to Burleigh in both directions for the entire project. Signage will be posted to indicate where to board along the detour. There are no planned detours for cross routes 21 North Ave., 22 Center St., and 80 via Locust/Hopkins. Stops impacted near these corresponding intersections will be signed to board at nearby alternatives as needed.
Parking: On-street parking is not allowed during construction.
