🚧 Intersection Delay Update 🚧

If you’ve noticed longer wait times at HWY 164 and Milwaukee /Janesville/Forest Home during your evening commute, here is what’s going on:

The Cause: Independent turn signals were added from 3pm–7pm to help manage heavy overflow traffic from the I-43 project.

The Issue: This has unfortunately backed up through traffic.

The Fix: State electricians have been called to adjust the timing and improve the flow.

🛑 Safety First: The lights are functioning and cycling. Please do not run the red lights—it’s dangerous, illegal, and puts everyone at risk. Stay safe out there!
