south. Primary design features of the project include: All exits on the 
right, through traffic stays left; full 8- to 12-foot shoulders on all 
ramps and freeways; four lanes on each approach leg; three lanes on US 
45 northbound and southbound through the core of the interchange; two 
lanes on I-94 eastbound and westbound through the core of the 
interchange (with a wider median that could accommodate a third lane in 
the future); several ramps with two lanes instead of one; smoother 
curves on all freeway-to-freeway interchange ramps (minimum 45 mph 
design speed); 60 mph design speed on I-94 and US 45; access to and 
from US 45/I-894 provided to US 18 (Bluemound Road), but no direct

actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review 
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred
