MILWAUKEE - You Paid for It. A major Milwaukee County road project is causing major headaches. Nearby residents say some days it's so bad, they wind up trapped. Last week, we got calls from viewers wondering when crews will finally finish rebuilding a nearly 30 block stretch of Mill Road in Milwaukee. All we wanted were some answers, but wound up getting more than we bargained for. On the city's northwest side, Mill Road is a mess. "It's not fair the way they're doing it," said resident Quilla Banks. It’s a $2.5 million Milwaukee County project to rebuild Mill Road, and all the intersections, from 91st Street to 118th Street. Work started on the eastbound lanes back in May and, right now, is running two weeks behind schedule. Banks' patience, like a lot of her neighbors', is wearing thin. "There's been times when they've closed off every exit to all the streets where you couldn't even get out," Banks complained. When Banks can get off her street, getting any farther is an adventure. At 106th St., you can't go any farther west on Mill Road, because it's closed. You can't go east, because it's one way going west. Plus, there are no signs giving drivers a clear alternate route. That's actually by design. Milwaukee County's Public Works Director, George Torres, says he'd rather have some drivers sniff their way through different side streets, rather than every driver detour down the same side street. "As many residents as are complaining that they may not have a structured way of getting around, you have an equal amount of residents that are saying, 'why are you directing that traffic through the front of my house,'" Torres explained. Either way, as work got held up again by rain, we still saw people driving through barricades, sneaking down unopened sections of road, even moving the big orange barrels as shortcuts. Then, as we were taking our last few pictures, something totally unexpected: a man in a very official-looking truck demanded that we stop tapping. After explaining that we weren't required to do so on public property, the man sped off. When we asked Director Torres what that man didn't want us to see, he seemed just as puzzled as we were. "It's a good question,” Torres said. “I'd be interested to find out who that individual was." Turns out, the man worked for one of the project's consultants. "There's not a lot of latitude for that type of behavior," said Torres. As far as Banks is concerned, she just wants the work to get done already, which, barring any more delays is scheduled for November 15. That date could change, of course, depending on the weather. Public Works blamed the two week delay, so far, on spring flooding. Round two of the Mill Road project --mainly a lot of landscaping-- is scheduled for this spring.
