Packers Travel Advisory

(Green Bay) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region Office is reminding motorists heading to Lambeau Field on Sunday, October 18 for the Green Bay Packer/San Diego Chargers football game and a 3:25 p.m. kick off that I-41 and adjacent roadways from Oneida St. north to Lineville Road in Brown County are under construction. 

I-41, WIS 172 and I-43 could experience significant backups near the stadium, as could the I-41 interchanges at Oneida Street, WIS 172 and I-43. Barrier walls, orange barrels, and narrow lanes will affect travel.  Due to the I-41 Project construction, Ashland Avenue through De Pere and Ashwaubenon will also experience increased traffic congestion as additional motorists use this as an alternate route. The heaviest congestion is expected between 11 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. and again after the game.

WisDOT strongly recommends motorists allow themselves additional time to reach their destinations and check 511 Wisconsin website (www.511wi.gov) or call 511. Additionally, motorists are advised to remain alert and plan on exercising patience as they drive through the Green Bay area.

Here is a list of the major roads in northeast Wisconsin most Packer fans will be traveling as they head for Lambeau Field and the road conditions they should anticipate.
