The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is proceeding with a 2009-2016 safety reconstruction plan for the I-94 North-South Corridor in southeast Wisconsin. This 35-mile stretch of I-94, from the Illinois state line to the Mitchell Interchange, plays a key role in the state’s economy. The recommended plan will improve safety, ease congestion and modernize this important transportation artery that serves more than 150,000 vehicles daily.

See video clips of why this project is important to the state of Wisconsin.

Highlights of the project

• The project will redesign and reconstruct the I-94 North-South Corridor is critical to ensuring the safety of motorists throughout the corridor.
• While the interstate will increase in its capacity the project team will work to minimize impacts to neighborhoods and the environment.
• The project will keep vital interchanges and portions of the freeway open so goods and services can continue to move through our area.
• These improvements are costly, but necessary. They will make the roads better and safer. The new freeway design will also help drive southeastern Wisconsin’s economic engine by providing easy and safe access for commerce, transportation, and tourism.
• Cost containment strategies will also be put in place to ensure the $1.9 billion projected cost is not exceeded.

Kenosha-Racine I-94 service interchanges

In 1996, WisDOT completed an environmental assessment to rebuild and redesign a number of service interchanges along I-94 in Kenosha and Racine counties. WisDOT is currently working on final design and real estate acquisition for the interchanges, and will proceed to construction in 2009 and 2010.
