WisDOT representatives tell Brookfield council "there's a method to our madness" in Bluemound construction as they present the plan for the Zoo Interchange project. More Bluemound work is slated for summer.
Construction work on Bluemound Road was all part of the larger Zoo Interchange project — and another major but short-term closure on the road is scheduled this summer. Mayor Steve Ponto told the Brookfield Common Council Tuesday night that he had seen the Zoo Interchange presentation from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), and thought it was too good not to share. As I-94 cuts through Brookfield, and the major construction project will impact 300,000 drivers who use the interchange every day, any information is good information. Andy Kowske, a representative with Forward 45, explained that the initial stages of the $1.7 billion road project will involve work with the power utilities. "This is really a power cord as much …

Any delay in finishing the project will cost not just the area, not just the region, but the whole state in economic development and other benefits, say key legislator and commercial interests.
State Rep. Dale Kooyenga lives in north Brookfield, well away from the direct impact of reconstruction work on the Zoo Interchange. But he knows that doesn't mean he won't feel it — or that he doesn't see the need for it. "My world is from the west boundary of Madison to an east boundary of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee," he said in an interview. "In its present condition, I avoid the Zoo Interchange when I can. To go to Milwaukee, I take Capitol Drive over to Fond du Lac and shoot downtown." Kooyenga's 14th District seat straddles the Brookfield-Wauwatosa line and much of the project area.
