East Wilson and Williamson Street Reconstruction

Starting Monday, April 1, R.G. Huston Company will begin the reconstruction of:

• East Wilson Street—South Franklin Street to South Blair Street
• Williamson Street—South Blair Street to South Blount Street
• South Blount Street—Capital City Trail to Williamson Street

Only one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction on East Wilson Street and Williamson Street, which will result in peak hour traffic delays. South Blount Street will be fully closed for approximately one month of the overall project. Intermittent work along the Capital City Trail will require path closures and detours. A map of the reconstruction project area is available here. Project completion is scheduled for mid-August. 

Madison Gas and Electric will be performing localized utility work during the street reconstruction project. 

During the street reconstruction project, Wisconsin & Southern Railroad will replace the railroad crossing at the East Wilson Street/South Blair Street/John Nolen Drive intersection, which will have major traffic impacts. The tentative schedule is Wednesday, June 19 through Sunday, June 23. Updates will be provided closer to that time. 

Additional project information can be found on the project website here.
