You could get off at Brown Deer Road (west) and go to Green Bay Road
(north) (Hwy.57) which will take you through Mequon and Cedarburg and then
back to I-43, but that will probably take longer that slugging it out on
I-43. You also can get off at Brown Deer Road (east) and turn left at first
stop light (Port Washington Rd.) which will take you to Mequon Road (big
shopping center on right), turn right and get back on I-43, but I'm not
sure if big trucks are allowed on Port Washington Rd.  Looks like Hwy. 67
by the track is going to be one big parking lot Wednesday.
