Railroad construction will cause street closure

Published on: 7/12/2011

Due to railroad construction, N. West Avenue at the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad crossing will be closed beginning Monday.

The City of Waukesha’s Engineering Department sent out a press release on Friday saying the railroad needs to be reconstructed and the crossing, located between Dunbar Avenue and Elizabeth Street, needs to be realigned.
 
As a result, a detour will be posted using the route: south on N. West Avenue; east on Wisconsin Avenue; south on N. Grand Avenue; and west on W. College Avenue.
 
The northbound route will be the reverse of that.
 
The Hospital Emergency route will be: west on W. College Avenue; north on N. Prairie Avenue; northeast on W. St. Paul Avenue; and north on Mountain Avenue.
 
The streets will be closed until Friday.
