I got this email at work today about the East Wash(151)/Interstate junctions where we begin many of our competitions in the summer. We should all plan to alter our regular pattern this summer as that stretch of road will be under construction through August.

All NHQ employees and contingent workers:
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) will soon start work on the Interstate 39/90/94 overpass at East Washington Avenue/Highway 151. The bridge deck will be replaced and a firm start date is not available. Signs will be posted before the start date and construction will be completed in August.
Getting to the National Headquarters:
• For drivers traveling south on I-90: The northbound exit onto Highway 151 will be closed, so you will need to find an alternative route if you normally use that exit to reach NHQ. The southbound exit onto East Washington Avenue will remain open. For northbound motorists, the DOT will set up a detour directing motorists south on Highway 51 to Highway 30, then east on 30 back to the interstate, and then north to 151. Other alternative routes of your choosing may work better for you.
• For drivers traveling north on I-90: The northbound exit onto Highway 151 will remain open. You can continue to use that exit or use High Crossing Boulevard to reach the NHQ. The southbound 151 exit ramp leading to East Towne Mall will be closed.
Leaving the National Headquarters:
• Northbound and southbound ramps from Highway 151 to I-90 will remain open during the construction.
A news release on the road construction indicates three lanes of traffic will be maintained in each direction during the day, but there will be lane closures at night. While lanes may be open we recommend employees exercise caution and add time to their commute.

Interesting...... Probably will still be fine.

Yeah, the on ramp from 90 to 151 will be closed which is where we run into the bulk of the traffic which might be good. However if they are diverting that traffic down highcrossing and onto 151 at American Parkway it just pushes the traffic further into our normal race area

Racing anywhere near a construction area is a recipe for real trouble.

Agreed, what we do already has some pretty high risk if we get caught. I dont even want to think about what would happen if we got caught doing that in a construction zone.

Honestly it's shocking to me that they haven't setup some street racing sting on 151 or something, everyone is in the same place every weekend. Part of me wonders if the cops are just turning a blind eye to it.

I'm guessing that's the edge of jurisdiction for Madison so I'm guessing it would have to be Dane county's problem, we do it late at night, no houses around, we are probably low priority as they probably don't get many complaints

As of last night madison police is out decently again for the cruising crowd, as well as a few sheriffs and state patrol.. still would watch for cops on 151 and wait to run till you're out of construction just to be safe.
