Expressway wasn't *flooded* Saturday but it was closed. I drove down to Beloit via 43 then back up to Madison Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening I drove back via 94 and there were dumptrucks parked at all the bridges Westbound between Delafield and Johnson Creek.

US18 is closed in various places as well.

Highway 83 is a clusterfsck so don't go that way to get to 43. My girlfriend's stepdad took it and it added an hour to their trip.

I live just off 94 at exit 293. I cut through Waukesha and took 164 to 43. Took about 2 hours to get to north Madison.

You can check this to see if it re-opens:

That's what I used to find the best route to Madison.

On Friday I took 16 west and then onto 19 past Oconomowoc. 19 was closed further west so got divirted heading south on 'Q' back to 94 in Lake Mills.
