Construction on the Bus Rapid Transit system in Madison will soon begin, and city officials updated the public this week on lane closures for several major roadways, according to a report from WMTV NBC-15.
City officials said the first line will stretch from Junction Road to East Towne Mall. Crews are breaking ground on BRT stations on the left, right, and median lanes of major roadways, including Mineral Point Road and Whitney Way. The public is urged to stay alert to the changing traffic signals and lane shifts while construction is ongoing.
The bus stops, which are expected to be about 60 feet long, will each take about three months to complete.
Construction will begin during the week of April 4 on East Washington Avenue, Anderson Street, and Mendota Street.
