Waukesha County: I-94 WEST from Milwaukee County Line (124th Street) to WIS 16 - Full time single lane closure begins March 2 at 8 p.m. I-94 EAST from WIS16 to Milwaukee County Line (124th Street) - Full time single lane closure begins the evening of March 14.   Lane closures during peak travel hours are scheduled to conclude late June 2011.

The I-94 East-West freeway is one of the busiest routes in southeast Wisconsin. It serves as a vital link to downtown Milwaukee and the western suburbs. Pavement repair and bridge work is needed to keep I-94 serving the area for years to come. WisDOT encourages motorists to plan ahead, use alternate routes and modes of transportation, and expect delays during this project.  Visit www.repave94.org for the latest project information and travel times.
