Madison motorists using a critical downtown corridor might want to consider an alternate route this spring and summer as road construction begins on Gorham Street, University Avenue and Broom Street.
The project is only six blocks long and two blocks wide, but it will tie up an important juncture where Gorham Street, the main westbound one-way street into downtown from the east side, meshes with University Avenue, the key one-way conduit through the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus heading to the west side.
Work begins Monday and is expected to continue through September.
