On-Ramps Closing on I-94 in the Next Few Months

Whether you work, commute or live in Milwaukee, drivers should be aware of I-94 roadwork and lane restrictions that will begin in March and go through May. 

Work will begin on March 4 and continue until mid-May for the addition of an auxiliary lane of traffic between 25th and 37th street. On-ramps at 35th street will be closed the week of February to complete work on lane markings. The work start times are dependent weather conditions. 

The work will begin on March 4 and continue until mid-May. On-ramps at 35th street will be closed the week of February to complete work on lane markings.

Patch media partners WISN, report that this an attempt to ease traffic after a redesign last year reduced the number of lanes in certain directions through the Marquette Interchange.

The work start times are dependent on weather conditions. It will link the auxiliary lane at 35th street with the lane in the Marquette Interchange that ends at 25th street under the current configuration.

When work is completed there will be three westbound lanes and the auxiliary lane connecting the Marquette Interchange with the Stadium Interchange. 

The work scheduled for this spring will restore the second lane for I-794 westbound while maintaining the improvements along I-43 southbound to I-94 westbound.

The work that took place in spring 2012 improved the traffic backups along I-43 but resulted in unacceptable delays along I-794, according to a release.

There will be a single lane closure along I-94 westbound beginning on March 4 and running until mid-April. Additional off-peak, overnight and weekend work will continue until mid-May. Eastbound traffic will see some impacts due to median work that is required. There will be no lane closures eastbound.
