If you've been eyeing the construction along the river south of the railroad track in Western Milwaukee, or if you're vexed by the commotion on State Street, mark your calendars. On March 12, from 5:30 - 7:00 pm at the Hawthorn Glen Nature Center, located at 1130 N 60th Street, Milwaukee, the Western Milwaukee Phase 2B Levee and Floodwall Project team is poised to shed some light on the ongoing developments.

The open house promises a run-down of the project's importance and scope, including what's been completed and what's slated for 2025. Preparation for new routes during the impending construction phase is also part of the agenda. And if you're harboring concerns, the team is gearing up to field them. This according to a news release by the City of Wauwatosa. For a closer look at what the evening entails, check out their announcement here.

The Western Milwaukee Phase 2B endeavor is more than just rebar and concrete; it's an investment in the future safety and stability of the community it serves. The March 12 open house offers a golden opportunity for residents to get engagement in the process and to voice any concerns directly to the project team behind the construction. As plans for the new detours and potential disruptions are discussed, the project team will be tuning into the public sentiment.
