DRIVERS TAKE NOTE: Heavily-traveled stretch of N. Hawley/N. 55th St. closed Monday for paving work

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- The heavily traveled stretch of N. Hawley Rd./N. 55th St. from W. Vliet St. to W. Lisbon Ave. will be closed to all traffic during high-impact paving work that will begin on Monday, July 28, Alderman Michael J. Murphy said.

Alderman Murphy said crews will work quickly to place an overlay of asphalt concrete atop the existing roadway surface. He said the roadway will be closed to all traffic and will remain closed until after the asphalt concrete surface has been placed and compacted. The work is expected to be finished in two days, but the alderman has asked that the job be completed sooner, if possible.

“This project will certainly inconvenience some residents and motorists, but the work will transform the deteriorating roadway into a smooth asphalt surface free of cracks and potholes,” Alderman Murphy said.

Persons holding residential day parking permits will be permitted to park within two blocks of the address shown on their permit providing they abide by all other provisions of the day permit parking program.
