UPDATED: Ice Chunks Falling from FOX6 Tower Cause Wilson Drive Closure

Police have cordoned off a portion of North Wilson Drive, streching from East Olive Street to East Capitol Drive for safety reasons.

Updated 8:13 p.m.: North Wilson Drive is now open.

Big chunks of ice falling from FOX6 WITI's TV tower has caused Shorewood police and Department of Public Works employees to close a portion of busy North Wilson Drive.

Police say no one was injured before they could cordon off a few blocks of Wilson Drive stretching from East Olive Street to East Capitol Drive. This is a yearly occurrence according to police.

Meanwhile, ice chunks are smacking into local business including the American Legion Post that sits beneath the tower and Kingo Lutheran Church across from the VFW post.
