Both lanes were initially closed, but were reopened by 9:30 a.m. Three days prior, on May 6, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation put out a notice warning drivers that, due to road construction on the overpasses over Interstate 41, detoured traffic would result in backups during peak travel hours this summer.
