Traffic Impacts
Two lanes of traffic for both east- and westbound I-94 will be maintained during construction using temporary widening of median shoulders and the existing bridges.
- Initially, motorists will encounter single-lane closures as crews begin mobilizing for work. In addition, I-94 may be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction during non-peak weekday traffic periods to complete the needed work.
- The speed limit in the work zone is reduced to 55 mph when lane closures are in place.
- During periods of extreme congestion or to manage traffic during an emergency incident, I-94 traffic may be directed to use the existing alternate route of US 53 through Foster, Brackett and Eau Claire as an alternate route between County HH and the I-94/US 53 interchange.
- Interchange resurfacing work will be performed during ramp closures during off-peak travel periods/hours.
- Work on I-94 under the interchange will be performed under traffic using mainline lane closures and loop ramp closures with a detour and/or temporary diamond interchange ramp configuration.
- Any temporary diamond interchange work on US 53 will be performed under traffic using lane closures.
