UPDATE (Nov. 15): The polymer overlay work is now complete and regular traffic patterns have resumed.

----

This week, crews are installing the polymer overlay at the Starkweather Creek bridge. This work is expected to last the entire week and will require lane reductions in the area during operations and overnight. Please expect temporary traffic disruptions and delays while this work is being completed.

11/10/2023

Atwood Avenue is fully reopened. Crews are removing the remaining drums today and will continue to wrap up the project over the next couple of weeks, including completing storm sewer and park restoration efforts. They are also working to add additional lighting to the area.

Polymer overlay work on the bridge at Starkweather Creek will begin on Monday and will likely last the entire week. To complete this work, traffic will be shifted at Starkweather Creek to accommodate construction activities.

11/01/2023

This week, the team will work on closing out the project, including removing survey flags and drums and working on driveway aprons. Due to the weather, polymer overlay work may potentially be delayed until spring, though vehicles will still be able to travel on the roadway.

One of the inbound lanes (toward downtown) will remain closed while crews wrap up concrete work this week and next week. Electrical restoration and a handful of other tasks will also be completed in November.

The multi-use path on the lake side of Atwood Avenue is expected to open this week near the Starkweather Creek bridge.

Vehicles, bikes and pedestrians should stay alert and continue to exercise caution throughout the corridor while remaining construction operations take place.

10/31/2023

The project team will halt work at 3 p.m. today to allow for trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.

10/24/2023

This week, crews will continue electrical work as well as polymer overlay and pavement marking work along Atwood Avenue. Expect intermittent lane shifts and potential delays. Crews will also continue park restoration efforts this week.

Please note that the timelines of these tasks may change depending on the weather.

10/17/2023

Crews will begin polymer overlay work along Atwood Avenue this week. Please expect intermittent lane shifts and potential delays during this time.

Delays may also occur next week while the project team performs asphalt paving and pavement marking work. Electrical work is also being done this week and next week.

As a reminder, Atwood Avenue is open to bidirectional traffic from Fair Oaks Avenue to Cottage Grove Road. One of the three lanes on Atwood Avenue will remain closed to traffic as crews continue construction on the new roadway.

Vehicles, bikes and pedestrians should stay alert and watch for traffic shifts throughout the corridor while remaining construction operations take place.

10/13/2023

Starting today, Atwood Avenue is open to bidirectional traffic from Fair Oaks Avenue to Cottage Grove Road.

One of the three lanes on Atwood Avenue will remain closed to traffic as crews continue construction on the new roadway. Vehicles, bikes and pedestrians should stay alert and watch for traffic shifts throughout the corridor while remaining construction operations take place.

Access to all side streets has also been restored; however, remaining construction operations in those areas may temporarily impact access during the day.

10/10/2023

This week, the project team is planning to pour curbs and gutters, perform electrical work and install streetlights along Atwood Avenue. There will be some temporary sidewalk closures in these areas while milling work takes place. Please watch for signs indicating the closures and use alternate routes to avoid the affected areas.

Crews are also working on park restoration efforts this week, as well as continuing work on the pedestrian bridge at Starkweather Creek.

10/06/2023

The pedestrian bridge at Starkweather Creek is taking shape. Here's a look at the structure from earlier this week. ⬇

As a reminder, the multi-use path on the lake side of Atwood Avenue will remain closed between Walter Street and Oakridge Avenue/Sugar Avenue until the bridge work is complete.

Pedestrians traveling near the creek may cross Atwood Avenue at Walter Street to access open routes. There is also a crossing point at Olbrich Botanical Gardens for pedestrians wishing to access the lake near Welch Avenue.

10/04/2023

Pedestrians traveling near Michael's Frozen Custard, Harleys Liquor & Bait and Walgreens may now use the newly constructed path on that side of the street.

10/03/2023

This week, crews will continue pavement marking work on Atwood Avenue. Additional surfacing and sealing work is expected to take place next week and the week after.

The project team is also working on park restoration efforts this week and early next week, as well as working to finish the pedestrian bridge at Starkweather Creek.

In addition, Metro Transit has moved its inbound temporary bus stops to their permanent locations in the area. View more information on their website ➡ https://www.cityofmadison.com/metro

Crews are paving on Atwood Avenue today, which could result in periodic stops and delays, especially at the Walter Street intersection. Traffic patterns may also be shifted as this work takes place.

Please use caution in the area, stay alert and watch for flaggers in the area.
