Three road construction projects in Madison set to start this week could cause traffic delays and alternate routes to be taken.
On Monday, two projects will begin on the East Side and on the UW-Madison campus, and the third project will start Thursday in Downtown Madison, according to the Madison Traffic Engineering Division.
Buckeye Road will be closed between Monona Drive and Stoughton Road starting Monday for resurfacing, so signed detours will be set up for drivers approaching the area.
The Buckeye Road project is expected to be completed in November.
Also on Monday, the northbound side of North Mills Street, between Spring Street and West Dayton Street, will be closed so underground utility work can be completed.
The closure of the northbound side should last about six weeks. The southbound side will stay open.
