WisDOT to host public involvement meetings on the I-794 Lake Interchange Study

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will host two upcoming public involvement meetings on the I-794 Lake Interchange Study. The meetings are an opportunity for the public to learn about the latest findings, including traffic analysis, on the Replace in Kind, Freeway Removal and Freeway Improvement alternatives. WisDOT will also present preliminary evaluation criteria based on the purpose and need.

Attend a Meeting:

Tuesday, November 4, 2025	Wednesday, November 5, 2025
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.	4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Milwaukee Marriott Downtown 625 North Milwaukee Street Milwaukee, WI 53202	St. Thomas More High School 2601 East Morgan Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53207

 

All alternative groups will move forward to the environmental review phase. Through the environmental impact statement, an alternative will be selected for implementation. There will be many opportunities for the public to learn more, ask questions and share feedback before any final decisions are made.

Both venues are transit and wheelchair accessible. If you require an auxiliary aid, service or an interpreter, please contact David Pittman, I-794 Lake Interchange Study Manager, at david.pittman@dot.wi.gov or via the Wisconsin Telecommunication Relay System (dial 711 and request to connect with 262-548-6439) as soon as possible. Please allow time for arrangements by contacting the WisDOT representative at least three working days before the meeting.

About the I-794 Lake Interchange Study
WisDOT, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration and in close coordination with the city of Milwaukee and Milwaukee County, is evaluating alternatives for the I-794 Lake Interchange corridor, generally from the Marquette Interchange to the Hoan Bridge.
