The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is reminding travelers in Door County and nearby counties to brace for a week of shifting traffic patterns, chilly weather and Veterans Day activities that may bring added congestion. 

WisDOT crews will continue their work along WIS 57 near County H, Stone Road and Cloverleaf Road, where the multi-stage improvement project remains active. At least one lane will stay open in each direction, but drivers should expect weekday lane shifts, shoulder closures and periodic flagging operations, particularly between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Maintenance teams in Kewaunee and Brown counties will also be out patching pavement, clearing culverts and performing early-season winter prep, all of which may cause brief slowdowns on rural stretches. 

Door County’s Veterans Day ceremonies, including parades and gatherings from Sturgeon Bay to Sister Bay, will draw additional traffic. Drivers are urged to slow down near event venues and in construction corridors.  On Friday, commuters can expect crews to wrap up the week’s work, which may include temporary lane closures on high traffic corridors.

WisDOT encourages all travelers to call 511 if hesitant before heading out and to build extra minutes into their schedule. With construction, Veteran’s Day ceremonies and swing-season weather teaming up, a little patience goes a long way on the road.
