Project location

I-94 (Tomah interchange bridges over I-90/94), Tomah - Monroe County

Project overview

The project is located at the I-90/94 interchange in the towns of Tomah, Oakdale, and La Grange in Monroe County, Wisconsin. The project encompasses approximately 0.748 miles of I-94. The project limits include I-94 over the eastbound I-90/westbound I-94 ramp and I-94 over the westbound I-90 ramp. The proposed project is analyzing alternatives to address structure deterioration, and vertical clearance needs of two structures.

This project will be completed utilizing an alternative contracting mechanism, Design-Build. WisDOT's Design-Build Program is a collaborative contracting process that brings the engineering and construction industries together at the outset of a highway improvement project. Traditionally in Wisconsin, these processes have always been separated, where a designer plans the project, and a construction company then bids on those plans.
