From today’s federal register:
SUMMARY: This notice announces actions taken by the FHWA that are final
within the meaning of 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). The actions relate to a
proposed highway project, Interstate I-94, I-894, and U.S. Highway 45
(Zoo Interchange) in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Those actions grant
approvals for the project. The project will replace the existing
roadway and bridges and reconfigure the study-area freeway system to
address safety issues and design deficiencies and provide additional
capacity. The project termini are 124th Street on the west, 70th Street
on the east, Burleigh Street on the north and Lincoln Avenue on the
south. Primary design features of the project include: All exits on the
right, through traffic stays left; full 8- to 12-foot shoulders on all
ramps and freeways; four lanes on each approach leg; three lanes on US
45 northbound and southbound through the core of the interchange; two
lanes on I-94 eastbound and westbound through the core of the
interchange (with a wider median that could accommodate a third lane in
the future); several ramps with two lanes instead of one; smoother
curves on all freeway-to-freeway interchange ramps (minimum 45 mph
design speed); 60 mph design speed on I-94 and US 45; access to and
from US 45/I-894 provided to US 18 (Bluemound Road), but no direct
access between I-94 and Bluemound Road.
DATES: By this notice, the FHWA is advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim seeking judicial review
of the Federal agency actions on the highway project will be barred
unless the claim is filed within 180 days of this Federal Register
notice. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial review of a claim
provides a time period of less than 180 days for filing such claim,
then that shorter time period still applies.
