100 Block West Wilson Street Closure

West Wilson Street will be fully closed between South Hamilton Street and South Carroll Street for a crane setup at 131 West Wilson Street on Sunday, January 8. The closure is scheduled for Sunday only, from 6:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.

Local access will be maintained to driveways on either side of 131 West Wilson Street via temporary two-way traffic from either end of the block. The sidewalk will remain open on the north side of West Wilson Street. 

The crane is necessary to allow for Madison Gas and Electric Company to remove their electrical equipment on the roof of 131 West Wilson Street and disconnect power to the building. The exact timing of the building demolition is unknown. The demolition will likely commence in the next several weeks and will take approximately 6-7 months to complete.
