By Thursday morning (April 4), all I-39/90 traffic will shift onto the southbound side from Kennedy Road, north of the WIS 26 interchange, to the US 14 interchange. Crews will reconstruct and expand the northbound Interstate within these limits. Traffic will remain in this configuration until summer 2020.
Effective tonight (April 1) – in anticipation of the I-39/90 traffic switches in Rock County – the Interstate work zone speed limit will be reduced to 60 mph from Kennedy Road (north of the WIS 26 interchange) in Janesville south to Cranston Road near the I-43/WIS 81 interchange in Beloit. Motorists are advised to obey the posted speed limit!
I-39/90 remains open to two lanes in each direction during daytime hours and weekends. Nightly single lane closures will occur on the Interstate weeknights from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. within the construction project limits. All lane restrictions, ramp and road closures, and work operations are weather dependent and subject to change. Drivers are urged to plan ahead, eliminate distractions, do not tailgate and drive with caution in all work zones.
