The City of New Berlin will begin roadway improvements on July 13 as part of the 2026 Roadway Rehabilitation. The project area is generally located west of S. 124th Street between W. Euclid Avenue and W. Wilbur Drive.

Improvements will include roadway resurfacing, with some sections receiving stormwater improvements and water main replacement. During the rehabilitation project, roadways will remain open to local traffic but closed to through traffic. Construction is expected to continue through October, weather permitting.

Residents and motorists may experience temporary traffic impacts during construction. Drivers are asked to slow down, plan ahead, allow extra travel time, follow posted construction signage, and remain alert in and around work zones to help protect construction crews and the public.

Heavy rain (1-3") and severe storms are in the forecast. When storms hit, every drop matters—using less water helps reduce the risk of water backing up into basements and sewer overflows.

Please help do your part:
⏸️ Hold off on washing dishes and laundry
🚿 Take shorter showers
🌧️ Empty your rain barrel
