Packers fans take note: Prepare to deal with construction around Green Bay

GREEN BAY -- The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region Office is reminding motorists heading to Lambeau Field on Sunday, November 15 for the Green Bay Packers/Detroit Lions football game that I-41 and adjacent roadways from Oneida Street north to Lineville Road in Brown County are under construction. This is a Gold Package Game.

I-41, WIS 172 and I-43 could experience significant backups near the stadium, as could the I-41 interchanges at Oneida Street, WIS 172 and I-43. Barrier walls, orange barrels, and narrow lanes will affect travel.  Due to the I-41 Project construction, Ashland Avenue through De Pere and Ashwaubenon will also experience increased traffic congestion as additional motorists use this as an alternate route. The heaviest congestion is expected between 8 a.m. and noon and again after the game.

WisDOT strongly recommends motorists allow themselves additional time to reach their destinations and check 511 Wisconsin website (www.511wi.gov) or call 511. Additionally, motorists are advised to remain alert and plan on exercising patience as they drive through Brown County and the Green Bay area on gameday.
