Business Journal of Milwaukee: Doyle kicks off I-94 construction (WI)

From Business Journal of Milwaukee:  

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle kicked off construction on the Interstate 94 north-south freeway project that will modernize and expand the corridor to eight lanes.  About $1.9 billion in improvements are planned for the freeway that runs from the Illinois-Wisconsin state border to Milwaukee. The project is expected to create more than 2,300 jobs and be complete in 2016.  “Improvements to the North-South will create thousands of jobs and will support Wisconsin’s overall economy by accommodating business and recreational travelers for years to come,” Doyle said. “The state and federal investments being made to Wisconsin’s transportation system mean we will emerge from the national economic situation stronger, more modern, with an improved infrastructure that will help Wisconsin succeed in the worldwide economy.”
