Section of South Washington to be closed for two weeks

Starting today a section of Washington Avenue, between Hwy 34 and SE 16th Street, will be closed for road reconstruction and resurfacing. 

The city says the work is expected to take two weeks, weather permitting.

The City of Madison is asking the public to use the following detour routes:

For local business traffic, use Industry Avenue and 12th Street.  Through traffic and residential access will be routed to Hwy 19 and 235th Street.

Traffic control measures, including full roadway closure barricades, message boards, and “Road Closed” signs, have been in place for several days. 

This work aims to improve the quality and safety of Washington Avenue.
