The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) announced the completion of the north leg of the Zoo Interchange. Reaching this milestone also signifies the overall completion of the entire Zoo Interchange project in Milwaukee County. The project finished $200 million under budget.
As one of the busiest interchanges in the state, the Zoo Interchange is a hub for commerce and tourism throughout Wisconsin. There are about 108,000 jobs located within two miles of the Zoo Interchange. It is the main access route to local manufacturers, and it connects Milwaukee to the Fox Valley industrial region. In addition, more than 20,000 trucks a day travel this section of highway carrying more than $20 billion in freight each year.
