Milwaukee Zoo freeway Interchange is shut down this weekend.....

I pity the poor travelers from Illinois that try to use the Milwaukee freeway this weekend.  All of the major freeways near Milwaukee are being renovated but this is a full shut down for the entire weekend of a major freeway so that a bridge can be replaced.  I am sure that after everything is fixed and I don't need to drive on it anymore then is when I will be moving to Hartford.

The Hoan bridge is not the one being fixed now but I still remember when pieces of it were falling off. I believe it still has the zipper system on it to move concrete blocks for the purpose of changing traffic flow.
