road-closure

Motorists traveling US Highway 14 through Janesville next week may want to find a new route.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the major thoroughfare will be closed at the railroad crossing just east of Newville Road between 7:00 Monday Morning and 5:00 next Friday afternoon.

A posted detour will follow State Highway 51, Black Bridge Road, and Milton Avenue.

The closure is necessary while crews working for the Union Pacific Railroad replace a railroad crossing.
