Work begins Monday on I-39/90 bridges near Rock County line

Motorists on Interstate 39/90 near Edgerton could experience some delays beginning Monday as work starts on widening the highway's bridges over Lake Drive Road.

The Department of Transportation said the project also will include improvements to Lake Drive Road, which runs from the city of Edgerton east to Lake Koshkonong.

All lanes of I-39/90 will remain open during daytime hours, with single-lane closures on the four-lane divided highway happening during the overnight hours.

The bridgework is about 2 1/2 miles south of Exit 160 in the town of Albion.

Lake Drive Road will be closed to through traffic during the road and bridge construction work, with a posted detour using Goede Road, Mallwood Drive and Hillside Drive.

The project should be completed in October.
