About Us

I-94 East-West Econ Connect is a coalition of businesses, economic development organizations, institutions, and other entities deeply invested in the future of the I-94 East-West Corridor. We understand its importance as an economic engine for commerce in metro Milwaukee, Waukesha County, and the entire state. We strongly support the timely reconstruction of the severely outdated and increasingly unsafe highway.

We were very pleased the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) signed the Record of Decision (ROD) in March of 2024, confirming federal approval of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s (WisDOT) recommended alternative for reconstructing I-94 in Milwaukee County as a modernized eight-lane corridor with a diverging diamond interchange to replace the current Stadium Interchange. The I-94 East-West project can now advance into final design and construction.

We will continue to work with WisDOT, policymakers, and other stakeholders to keep this vital project moving forward.
