Gateway to Milwaukee

15th June 2009

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is proceeding with a safety reconstruction plan for the I-94 North-South corridor in southeast Wisconsin. The project runs from the Illinois state line to the Mitchell Interchange, and includes the WIS 119 Airport Spur to General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee. Construction begins in 2009 and will continue through 2016.

The project will improve safety, help ease congestion and modernize this important 35-mile transportation artery, including:

  * constructing an additional lane in each direction, for a total of eight lanes
  * replacing deteriorating pavement and structures with new designs
  * moving ramp exits to the right side of the freeway
  * providing aesthetic treatments for those who live adjacent to the freeway

WisDOT is working to minimize closures for interchanges and portions of the freeway , and to minimize impacts to neighborhoods and the environment. We want you to be involved during this process so we can best respond to the needs of the region.
