County transportation staff preview major WISDOT projects and long‑term freeway work
Summary
Milwaukee County Department of Transportation staff summarized state Department of Transportation projects affecting county travel — I‑94, I‑43, resurfacing and interchange work — and directed listeners to 511 for project maps and schedules.
Milwaukee — County DOT staff briefed committee members on a series of Wisconsin Department of Transportation projects that have affected travel times and are planned for 2025–2026, including work on I‑94 and I‑43 and related ramps and bridges.
High‑level items discussed included an I‑94 rehabilitation and shoulder/guardrail work, I‑43 rehabilitation between Capitol and other segments (including bridge work and noise‑wall replacement), and interchange repairs and resurfacing on the I‑41/I‑94 corridor. Eddie Santiago, interim deputy director, told the committee the projects are part of a broader preservation and safety program and that the state 511 website provides maps, phases, start dates and contact information for each project.
One supervisor asked whether the project between Lincoln Avenue and 80 Fourth Street would change ramp or left‑exit configurations; staff said the work is primarily resurfacing and safety and drainage improvements and will not change intersections’ fundamental configuration.
Speakers (first reference): Eddie Santiago, Interim Deputy Director, Milwaukee County Department of Transportation; Roberto Gutierrez (WISDOT regional contact, on the line).
