Widening I-94

Thanks to $94 million in ARRA funding, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation will widen -- from six to eight lanes -- a 35-mile section of I-94 that runs from the Mitchell Interchange in Milwaukee to the Illinois state line and that is one of the busiest north-south freeway corridors in Wisconsin. In addition to congestion relief, the project will also improve safety by eliminating 13 dangerous left-hand exits along I-94 with all right-hand exits. The port represents a regional transportation and distribution center with markets that include Wisconsin, northern and western Illinois and Minnesota. This Recovery Act project is creating construction jobs for America right now, and creating vital infrastructure improvements that will lay the foundation for job growth for years to come.
