Surrounding areas and buildings were closed to pedestrian and road traffic during the removal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The little-used radio tower was becoming increasingly obsolete, so removing it was a safer and more cost-effective option than repairing and maintaining it. Private organizations and government agencies who remained interested in its services have been accommodated with other solutions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123333\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123333\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123333 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/07\/choppertower750x500-MicrosoftTeams-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/07\/choppertower750x500-MicrosoftTeams-image.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2023\/07\/choppertower750x500-MicrosoftTeams-image-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A helicopter prepares to set down a section of the radio tower being removed from the Sandburg Residence Hall North Tower on Saturday.
