Madison’s Traffic Engineering and Parking Divisions announced that the State of Wisconsin will begin utility construction on the 700 and 800 blocks of Langdon Street, near the Memorial Union and the Pyle Center.
Eastbound traffic will be closed on Langdon Street to all vehicles, according to a statement from Phil Nehmer of Traffic Engineering.
Vehicle traffic headed west on Langdon Street between North Lake and Park Streets will continue uninterrupted, according to the statement. Bicycle traffic on Langdon Street will also remain unaffected.
