Expect traffic delays during state track Fri.-Sat.
Thousands heading to UW-L for meet
Thanks to the WIAA state track and field meet, traffic will be a mess, beginning Friday.
Thousands will converge at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Memorial Field for the two-day event.
Most of the delays will be on La Crosse Street and Highway 16 from I-90.
Officials say there will be three entry points on campus:
- East Avenue at La Crosse Street.
- Pine Street at Campbell Road,
- La Crosse Street entrance to the Recreational Eagle.
All other streets and alleys will be blocked. Cost to park: $8 per day.
UW-L police chief Scott McCullough asks motorists not to get angry, look for pedestrians and stay off the phones.
