Building A Better Zoo Experience

Milwaukee County Zoo Front Entry Reconfiguration Project

Milwaukee County Zoo is embarking on a project to improve traffic congestion on Bluemound Road and prioritize pedestrian safety. High-volume attendance days at the Zoo can affect the traffic on Bluemound Road and the surrounding neighborhood. While we do this work, construction will be on Bluemound Road and could potentially impact drive times. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we undergo a better solution for the future!

PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE:

• New signalized entry at Bluemound Road and 99th Street
• Pedestrian crosswalk with signals
• Reconfigured ticketing entry to the Zoo, eliminating traffic congestion on community roads

TRAFFIC IMPACT: Bluemound Road reduces to one lane both east and westbound from approximately April 2026-July 2027
