yes unfortunately it's no surprise so it's usually speed-related and stupid related but you got to remember there's many people now going the beer town from The Windy City especially with Summer fest and more events going on in Milwaukee so they just make that quick hour-and-a-half trip north of the cheddar curtain

This week I am covering a steady run that requires me using this corridor. I'm glad I'm driving at night, because this is some of the most haphazard, non-sensical construction I have ever seen in my life. The outside lanes are so narrow, it's ridiculous. I go the speed limit, and I sit in that middle lane. Get right up alongside one of those walls if you want to pass me. Have fun.
And good on that lady for suing. I honestly feel like she would have a chance if she sued the construction company as well. They did a poor job setting up those lanes.Trucker Kev Paid Tourist and Turn4 Thank this. -
Bud A. and Trucker Kev Paid Tourist Thank this.

Believe one is 24 miles long. Least the lanes are full width plus the shoulder...
The two or three(?) in NoDak are long single lanes at normal width for 10-15 miles.
The difference is the traffic between the two regions. Can drive all morning on I94 and maybe pass five trucks....Bud A. and Trucker Kev Paid Tourist Thank this. -

the number of traffic flow in the last two or three years and as much as Milwaukee is grown in the last 20 years has really made a difference on that 94 corridor anymore..stwik Thanks this. -
A recent article by WUWM an NPR station out of Milwaukee quoted Michael Pyritz who is regional communications director for WI DOT. He stated that the third lane instead of a emergency shoulder/breakdown lane was a compromise. That it reduced rear end collisons but had the effect of raising other types of collisons. Furthur he mentioned that it wasn't exclusively because of Foxconn but that was a consideration. Other thing was a claim that the public wanted this because it reduced the total amount of time by about a year.
