PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. — Trail enthusiasts along the popular Ozaukee Interurban trail will face temporary closures this fall and winter as construction begins on water and sewer line extensions for the upcoming Port Washington data center campus.
The temporary closures will affect the section between Port Washington and Belgium, north of I-43, according to the Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department.
The exact timing and locations have not yet been determined, with utility work scheduled to start later this month.
For longtime users like Linda Nisleit and Josh Leute, both Port Washington residents, the trail represents more than just recreation — it's a vital community connection.
As a result of the utility work, the Parks Department has, as of this week, decided to delay scheduled trail repaving until next year.
