Overview
- WisDOT finished a major traffic shift near American Family Field about a week early, restoring three eastbound lanes between 70th Street and the Stadium Interchange and reopening the General Mitchell Boulevard ramps.
- A long-term closure now blocks the westbound I-94 exit to 68th Street, which WisDOT says will remain shut through late summer 2028.
- For game days, the Brewers and WisDOT posted step-by-step route maps at brewers.com/traffic, and the team is paying for extra sheriff’s deputies to ease backups on the freeway and Brewers Boulevard.
- Neighbors in the Story Hill area report heavier cut-through driving and tighter parking as motorists look for side streets, and shuttle drivers say they are using city roads to avoid freeway slowdowns.
- With the new configuration in place, DOT leaders forecast a steady pattern through spring, though separate lane closures on two Mitchell Interchange ramps are planned this weekend.
