Go to WI-30 -- 151 (East Washington Ave) is under construction for
the couple miles from the exit off the interstate.<br>
<br>
If the traffic isn't bad, it won't matter too much, but if the
traffic is bad, the construction would be a real pain.<br>
<br>
Even without the construction it is often easier and quicker to go
around on 30, due to traffic around East Towne mall and the
businesses along 151 as you come in. Just watch the exit from 30 to
151/E Washington, it kinda sneaks up on you and is a hard right turn
(it's just past the Fair Oaks exit after you go under the bridge).
Never fear if you miss it, just stay on 30 to Packers Ave, which
(when taken South -- left) winds a bit at first (and changes names a
couple times), but comes right down to the University (becoming
University Ave).<br>
<br>
Any time that isn't winter is construction season around here, and
several major roads are under construction. If you're coming from
the South (via 12/18), Fish Hatchery Rd is completely closed, take
Park St (likely what map software would give you anyway). Coming
from the West, University Ave is under heavy construction (1 lane
each way with few turn lanes), if you're unfamiliar, probably best
to take 12/18 around to Park St (12/18 is under construction part of
that way, but it's less harrowing, especially in the dark).<br>

together in to a useful map of some sort..)<br>

PS, right at the moment, Google is suggesting taking the exit to 51
(which intersects with 151) when you're coming down from the North,
which is surprising to me, but would also avoid the construction on
151 (in exchange for construction at the interchange.)<br>
