I-43/94 project scheduled to start in Milwaukee County

September 5, 2007

Work is slated to begin in mid-September on a $290,000 project to enhance safety on I-43/94 in Milwaukee County, announced the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).

The project will build a sign bridge and speed warning system over southbound I-43/94 (Plainfield Curve) between the Howard Avenue on and off ramps.  “The system will display a ‘ too fast for curve’ warning to motorists traveling at speeds unsafe for the curve ahead,“ said Julie Jenks, project manager with WisDOT.

I-43/94 will remain open to through traffic during construction, however, single lane and shoulder closures will occur during off-peak travel times.

The contractor, Outdoor Lighting Construction Co Inc. is scheduled to complete the project by late December, weather permitting.

A combination of federal and state funds will pay for the project.
