I live right at the intersection of Sheboygan and Eau Claire. The project website,
( https://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/projects/utility-with-resurfacing-n-eau-claire-ave ) says that northbound Eau Claire will only be closed between Regent and Sheboygan, even though the construction goes all the way from Regent to Old Middleton. If it's true that Eau Claire will be open both ways north of Sheboygan, your best bet for a detour (if you're coming from the west and looking to hook up with the Blackhawk path) is to follow Whitney from Regent north to Sheboygan, make a right on Sheboygan, and then a left on Eau Claire. If it turns out the portion of Eau Claire is closed north of Sheboygan as well, just follow Whitney to Old Middleton. You can even used the cool new bike turn-lane they recently installed allowing a less-harrowing left turn from Old Middleton onto the bike path.
