The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says construction of a new “flex lane” on Madison’s Beltline will help ease traffic congestion.
Work should start in March.
It’s part of a $45-million project that includes repairs to the deteriorating pavement, drainage improvements, and replacement of the median barrier wall.
The flex lane will be open during peak travel periods like morning and afternoon rush hours. The work should be complete by December.
Wis-DOT says the flex lane is a first for Wisconsin, but 17 other states have similar part-time travel lanes in place.
