South Blount Street will be fully closed for one month to complete a street reconstruction project, a release said.

Starting April 1, RG Huston will be reconstructing East Wilson Street from South Franklin Street to South Blair Street, Williamson Street from South Blair Street to South Blount Street and South Blount Street from Capital City Bike Path to Williamson Street.

The release said only one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction on East Wilson Street and Williamson Street which will cause traffic delays during peak travel times.

Work along Capital City Trail will also require closures and detours. The project is estimated to be complete by mid-August.

Madison Gas & Electric will be performing utility work starting the week of March 25 and throughout the street reconstruction period.

Wisconsin & Southern Railroad will be replacing the Wilson/Blair/John Nolen intersection from about June 19 to June 23. They are estimating this will cause major traffic issues.
