MILWAUKEE — The largest and most expensive road construction project in Wisconsin history will be done early and under budget.
Gov. Jim Doyle today said all freeway lanes and ramps on the Marquette Interchange in downtown Milwaukee will open by the end of August, months earlier than the original December end date.
His office also said the total bill will be under the estimated $810 million, although an exact figure hasn’t been worked out yet.
The massive road construction project, near Marquette University, has snarled traffic and rerouted some drivers since spring 2004.
The interchange carries 300,000 vehicles a day, more than double the number for which it was designed.
It connects Interstates 43, 94 and 794.
