Plan ahead for any travel to Green Bay for next week’s NFL Draft. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is advising anyone traveling to or through the Green Bay area to prepare for changes to their routes. Construction projects are starting in various counties that could impact travel late next week, including Brown, Outagamie, Fond du Lac, Winnebago, and Milwaukee counties. You can access real-time information on travel conditions by downloading the 511 Wisconsin app, dialing 5-1-1, or visiting 511wi.gov. DOT says motorists may also encounter its Safety Patrol along sections of highway in Brown and Outagamie counties.
Green Bay prepares for next week’s NFL Draft. The Green Bay City Council on Tuesday approved a jump in parking rates at city garages from $1 an hour to $2 during draft week to offset expenses for extra staff. While that cost goes up, WISN-TV in Milwaukee reports short-term rental units are reducing prices with draft week occupancy being lower than expected. Green Bay’s Austin Straubel Airport expects draft week traffic to exceed its busiest holiday weeks, with 2,500 travelers expected each day beginning Wednesday, the day before the draft starts.
