Upcoming Lane Closure Along I-94 Eastbound in Milwaukee County
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is underway with construction on the Early East Leg of the I-94 East-West Freeway project in Milwaukee County. As part of this work, a long-term lane and ramp closure is scheduled to begin the evening of Monday, March 9.
What to Expect
- Long-term lane closure on I-94 eastbound, from 35th Street to 25th Street, through late 2026
- Long-term closure of the 35th Street entrance ramp to I-94 eastbound, through late 2026
- Detour: 35th Street, Wisconsin Avenue, 27th Street, Clybourn Street, and 25th Street
Local and regional alternate routes are encouraged. Travelers should plan ahead and allow extra time. Travel time shifts and alternate modes of transportation are also encouraged.
Upcoming Openings
By late March, eastbound I-94 will be restored to three lanes west of the stadium, and the General Mitchell Boulevard ramps will reopen. Please note this long-term lane closure will return in late summer, while the General Mitchell Boulevard ramps remain open until fall.
