I-94 N-S Travel Tips for Labor Day Weekend

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation urges motorists to plan ahead this Labor Day weekend as they travel through the I-94 North-South Freeway Project. Motorists should give themselves extra time to get to their destination or consider adjusting their departure time, as normal holiday travel is expected to add to the number of vehicles on the road.  If you are looking for travel information outside of the project's corridor, motorists can get the latest statewide lane closure, traffic incident, and road condition information by dialing 511 or going to www.511wi.gov.

Construction work along the corridor is scheduled to cease as of noon on Friday, September 3rd, and won't resume again until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, September 7th.  Peak travel times are expected to be between noon and 8 p.m. on Friday, September 3rd and also on Monday, September 6th. Expect delays during peak travel periods.

While construction and maintenance crews will be joining much of the rest of the nation in celebrating the Labor Day weekend, Wisconsin State Patrol and other law enforcement officers will remain on the job. 

"As part of the 'Drunk Driving - Over the Limit, Under Arrest' campaign, officers will be patrolling in greater numbers and for longer hours during the holiday weekend," said Major Dan Lonsdorf of the Wisconsin State Patrol.  "The campaign, which runs through the Labor Day weekend, combines a high-visibility law enforcement effort with a media campaign to raise awareness of the crackdown on impaired driving."  In addition, Lonsdorf noted that officers will be enforcing the state's mandatory, primary seat belt law.  "Consistent safety belt use provides the most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around violently inside it during a crash," he said.

The following long term closures will remain in effect along the I-94 N-S Freeway project corridor over the Labor Day weekend:

MILWAUKEE COUNTY
I-94 between College and Layton Avenues in Milwaukee County, 3 miles.  Right side auxiliary lanes are closed.  Additionally, the I-94 and Layton Avenue interchange and northbound exit to Howard Avenue are closed.  Use College Avenue as an alternate route.
