A City of Madison project to reconstruct University Avenue will resume April 10, causing lane, sidewalk, and bike path closures on University Avenue between University Bay Drive and Shorewood Boulevard. Clients traveling from the west side of the city should expect delays and plan accordingly, especially during peak traffic hours. This phase of the project is expected to last until July 1, 2023.
