Group Loses In Bid To Block I-57 Work
A U.S. District Court refused to block the Milwaukee to Green Bay I-57 project pushing bids set for July 17 on Saukville to Port Washington and Sheboygan sectors. Officials say full opening may not occur until 1980 pending Congress funding and hearings later this year. The highway’s routing shift to the U.S. 141 corridor prompted environmental protests and local opposition.
