A Message From Warren



On Monday, November 3, the traffic pattern on South Boulevard will be modified to prepare for paving the asphalt surface on the south side of the roadway.


Eastbound traffic will be prohibited from utilizing South Boulevard between USH 12 and Industrial Court. This portion of the roadway will be opened to westbound traffic via Sauk Avenue and Industrial Court. Eastbound traffic between Industrial Court and Lynn Ave. will utilize the north lane of South Boulevard. South Boulevard will remain closed to westbound traffic between Lynn Ave. and Industrial Court. The Lynn Avenue detour will remain in place during this stage. Paving is scheduled for Tuesday November 4.


Changeable message signs will be deployed on USH 12 to aid motorists in accessing South Boulevard during this stage of the work.

Weekly Update 10/27-10/31


An Update from Warren!

The week of Monday October 27 to Friday, October 31, will be a busy one for traffic switches on South Boulevard. The main focus of the work for this week will be to complete the asphalt paving of the roadway.The schedule for the closures and staging below are dependent on the weather and the contractor’s progress and may be subject to change. Changeable message signs and additional traffic control signs will be in place to help motorists understand the various stages. 

On Monday Oct. 27, the lower layer of asphalt will be placed on the north side of the road.This work will not affect the current configuration of the eastbound lane on South Boulevard. However, there will be some short duration closures of the Industrial Court/ South Boulevard intersection and the Hitchcock Street/South Boulevard intersection. These closures will be in effect while the paving operation is working in the immediate vicinity of the intersection and are expected to last 2-3 hours at each location. 

On Tuesday Oct. 28, the surface layer of asphalt will be paved at the roundabout and Parkway/STH 123. This work will require a closure of South Boulevard between Badger Drive and Lynn Ave. The closure will include the newly constructed roundabout and the adjoining portion of Parkway. Truck traffic will be directed to Hitchcock Street. Eastbound local traffic only will be permitted between Hitchcock Street and Badger Drive. This work is expected to take most of the day. 

On Wednesday Oct. 29, the surface layer of asphalt will be placed on the north side of the road. The traffic staging during this work will be identical to that utilized for paving the lower layer on Monday.

On Thursday Oct. 30, eastbound traffic on South Boulevard will be switched to the north side of the road. Eastbound traffic will be eliminated between USH 12 and Industrial Court during this stage. Eastbound traffic will need to access South Boulevard via Sauk Avenue and Industrial Court. During this stage, the surface layer of asphalt will be paved on the south side of the roadway.

The Lynn Avenue detour will remain accessible during all of these changes.
