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.
The purpose of the project is to address deteriorating infrastructure in a manner that improves safety and operations within the study corridor, while also striving to enhance community connectivity and compatibility with local plans and development.
