(MILWAUKEE, Wis.) After a closure of more than four-months the last of the Valley Bridge system ramps is now open at the core of the Marquette Interchange.

This past Sunday the I-94 eastbound to I-43 southbound system ramp, which closed back in March, is now open to traffic following a lengthy closure for new overlay work.

The Valley Bridge was initially constructed in 1967 and the concrete deck was replaced between 1988 and 1989. The decks were widened as part of the Marquette Interchange Project which was completed back in 2008. The southern portion of the bridge was overlaid in 2013. The current work will overlay the northern section at the junction of the Marquette Interchanges fly over ramps to complete the planned maintenance of the structure.
