Archived News: This news release is more than one year old and may include outdated information.

City of Madison crews will be working on the shoreline of Lake Monona Tuesday through Friday to reduce flooding erosion and preserve the integrity of the Capital City Trail. One of the inbound lanes of John Nolen Drive will be closed during non-peak hours, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm on those days.

Crews will be installing rocks, known as rip-rap, to stabilize the shoreline and will need to stage equipment in the lane closest to the lake. Crews will work to maintain a portion of the bike path for pedestrians and bikes, but bicyclists will be asked to walk their bikes.

City staff will continue to update residents on flooding effects throughout the prolonged event. Full updates can be found at the City of Madison Flooding page
