Madison's longest block-and-a-half commute continues today, as crews of movers struggle to relocate a 400-ton, four-story apartment building from West Dayton Street to West Mifflin Street. 

Movers had planned to complete the trip on Thursday, but just getting the building out of its original location at 438 W. Dayton St. and turning the tight corner onto the street took much longer than expected, requiring city forestry crews to cut down a mature tree that was blocking the building's path, causing an hours-long delay.
