I-94 North-South corridor study - Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has completed the FEIS on the I-94 North-South corridor.

WisDOT and FHWA prepared an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act. The EIS explains why WisDOT and FHWA propose to reconstruct I-94, the alternatives considered, and their impacts. 

The Draft EIS (DEIS) official comment period began November 16, 2007 and was completed on January 25, 2008.

The following documents are in Adobe PDF format.
