You will encounter several slowdowns on US 151 between Mineral Point and Barneveld. These are relatively quick and shouldn't slow you down too much.
The real headache is on the SW side of Madison, in Fitchburg. Big time delay on a game day. Avoid this if you can, especially if coming up close to game time.
Your best bet would be to take exit 79 in Verona, turn right, than immediately left onto County M. Take M to County D (the stoplight) and turn left again. County D will eventually turn into Fish Hatchery Rd., cross over the Beltline, merge with Park, and by that time you will be close to where you need to be.
You will have the same headache leaving Madison as well. Avoid it if you can. It's a mess both ways.
Three lanes of this stretch, in both directions, will naturally open on Monday, a major phase completed in what has been a six year project. But all the preparation of the Monday opening may make the work zone even more congested than normal. And on a game day with Iowa traffic coming in? No thanks!
