Hwy. 33 Eastbound Lanes to be Ready Mid-November

Some eastbound lanes along the section of Highway 33 under construction are now being used by drivers, and Port Washington City Engineer Rob Vanden Noven said the rest of the lanes should be completed by mid-November.

"Traffic was shifted about a week or two ago (into the completed eastbound lanes)," Vanden Noven said; from Portview Drive to Freeman Drive and Northwoods Drive to the Milwaukee River is not completed. 

There is also a delay in the use of Highway LL, which has been paved to the south but will not open to drivers until some bike trail work has been completed, likely mid-November as well, he said.

The Highway 33 project calls for from South Tower Street in Port Washington to the Milwaukee River overflow bridge in Saukville. The road will be widened to four lanes with a median, and three roundabouts will be added at the intersections of Highway 33 and County LL, Highway 33 and Northwoods Road, and Highway 33 and Market Street.

There has been some controversy over , which was earlier this year because of utility work and weather.
