Federal Highway Administration March 9, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are final within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a proposed highway project, Interstate I-94, I-894, and U.S. Highway 45 (Zoo Interchange) in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Those actions grant approvals for the project. The project will replace the existing roadway and bridges and reconfigure the study-area freeway system to address safety issues and design deficiencies and provide additional capacity. The project termini are 124th Street on the west, 70th Street on the east, Burleigh Street on the north and Lincoln Avenue on the 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 access between I-94 and Bluemound Road.
