Wisconsin DoT Announces Start of I-94 Construction Project

I'm Dan Schaeffer, let's recombobulate.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation just announced the official start date for

one of its biggest ever construction projects, the I-94 East West project, which will reconstruct

and widen a 3.5 mile stretch of interstate highway in the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee

County.

This is a massive project with an estimated cost of more than $1.7 billion.

And with this official start date announced, also came estimates for how long this will

take.

The recommendation is expected to last until 2033.

At the recombobulation area, this project is something we've covered extensively, including

with an award-winning four-part series called Expanding the Divide.

It might be worth revisiting that series and considering how unnecessary and expensive

and extra-laying is and how in-southeastern Wisconsin we're going to be dealing with construction

and delays for the next eight years in order to shave a few minutes off suburban commute

times, while the city streets and city problems go ignored once again.

And all of Dan's work at the recombobulation area.
