New I-94 East-West Project road closure begins in Milwaukee on Jan. 5 until 2028
Ya know, I noticed when in Milwaukee this autumn that they were just about done working on Highway 45 on the western reaches of the city. Which should of tipped me to the fact that they would be starting construction on I94, which runs west to Madison, again.
They do seem to alternate running multi-year or decade construction projects on these roads. So much so that I got conditioned to never driving on 94 into town because the cycle was focused on 94 when I was driving up to Milwaukee monthly, and then merely frequently, after I graduated college in the middle 1990s.
This reminds me of I-465 around Indianapolis. Some portion of it has been under construction it seems for at least the past 20 years. The North-east area where I-69 joins it currently is. I believe they’ve reached a place where the construction on it will never end, it will just slowly circle the city for all eternity. It’s not yet clear if it’s going clockwise or counter-clockwise…
Regardless of which you surmise, you will be incorrect. Just assume it will be in your path, and go somewhere else instead.
