TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS AROUND THE VALLEY
Menomonee Valley Partners (MVP) collaborates with the City of Milwaukee, State of Wisconsin, and others to accomplish shared goals for a revitalized, sustainable Menomonee River Valley for the benefit of the greater Milwaukee area.
MVP is currently working to ensure that transportation projects being implemented by the City and State do well to foster and strengthen links between adjacent communities and the Valley’s employment opportunities, recreation destinations, restored natural resources, and environmental education.

After years of study and public outreach, the Interstate 94 (I-94) East-West project is moving forward with final design underway and construction beginning in October 2025.
The project covers approximately 3.5 miles of I-94 corridor between 70th and 16th Streets in Milwaukee County and includes the Stadium Interchange and five local/service interchanges.

Design Charrette: I-94 Lid at 26th & St. Paul
MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 3:30-6:30 PM at CONCORDIA 27, 801 N. 27th STREET
The I-94 East-West project includes a proposed lid - a very wide bridge - over the interstate at 26th Street and St. Paul Avenue.
Community input is essential to ensure that the proposed lid - the first lid structure in Wisconsin - is recognized as a critical connection point between residential and commercial zones in the Near West Side and significant economic and recreational destinations in the Valley.
Join a community charrette hosted by MVP and Near West Side Partners (NWSP) in partnership with the City of Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) with professional support from HGA Architects: Monday, October 27 between 3:30 and 6:30 at Concordia 27. Refreshments will be provided.
Community engagement is essential! Participants’ input will be incorporated into design concepts to improve the intersection’s accessibility, safety, and aesthetics and strengthen the tie between the residents and visitors, businesses and workers, organizations and destinations on each side of the interstate.
