WisDOT discusses major freeway projects underway in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Jason Roselle joined CBS 58 on Friday, Feb. 6 to discuss two major highway construction projects affecting Milwaukee-area drivers.

Roselle, engineering chief for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, said two ramps on I-894 closed Tuesday, Feb. 3 and will remain closed through early March 2026 as crews install noise barrier panels. The eastbound exit ramp to 60th Street and the 76th Street entrance ramp to eastbound I-894 are part of the noise barrier project.

Winter storm sewer work is one of the construction activities taking place on the I-94 East-West Freeway Project, according to Roselle. A full closure of westbound I-94 from WIS 175 to 70th Street is scheduled for Friday from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. to facilitate a storm sewer crossing. Drivers will be detoured via WIS 175 to Wisconsin Avenue to Blue Mound Road to 84th Street.
