Hwy 53 Bypass at Eau Claire

Second the question on exit number or sign coming up from Madison. We'll be going up in 26 days 16 hours and 1 minute, and plan to use the bypass.

I'd also like the exit number when coming from the South. Somehow I missed it last year, and ended up about five miles out of my way to the west. Thanks, guys.

My boss here in Northern Illinois has family in Rice Lake and has used the bypass several times..he says it easily saves 15-20 mins

Yes the bypass is open. Has been for a while. Very nice. Heckel's on the old 53 though, is closed. Could stay open once the highway opening. Too much loss of business. They closed in Osseo too. Re-opened as a Moe's Diner. Same management, just a new name. Heckels does have a location in Lake Hallie. OO Exit off the 53 bypass. Take a the OO exit. Left on OO. Left on Business 53. Turn left at the next traffic light. Then right & look for the Big Steer. Easy to find. Right in front of Farm & Fleet. Same good food as the old location. Good luck in Canada.
