Construction complicates University of Wisconsin move-in

Some new and returning UW-Madison students will find themselves in freshly-renovated dorms this week when they move into their new home for the school year. But driving near campus this week will not be for the timid or quick-tempered, as construction continues to snarl traffic and promises to add to the move-in congestion. About 6,500 students will move into dorms, mostly on Friday and Saturday, although around 1,300 students have permission to move in on Wednesday because they have campus jobs and need to be trained.
