About this project

The I-94/I-494/I-694 interchange and bridge safety reconstruction project consists of rebuilding the ramp to improve the curvature. The southbound auxiliary lane, buffer lane and reconstructed ramp will provide more space for trucks to slow and better navigate the ramp.

• Repair pavement
• Construct new southbound auxiliary lane from 10th St. to I-94
• Construct new southbound auxiliary lane from I-94 to Tamarack Rd.
