Heard back from the City. They are hoping that the intersection will reopen by November 20, 2021. It will reopen with stop signs, and then stop lights will be installed (waiting for WE Energies to run power) as flashing four-way red lights, and then fully operational. The timeline for total completion is not known, and will likely depend upon weather and other factors.

Curbs have been poured, and the road surface appears to be ready for asphalt. We're checking with the City about a possible reopening date.

The intersection has been closed and traffic is being detoured. Signs in adjacent subdivisions warn drivers that they are open for "local traffic only" so have some compassion for people in those subdivisions and follow marked detours instead of shortcutting through neighborhoods. Completion date is "November" with no more details available.
