[edit] Illinois

Interstate 94 runs through downtown Chicago, resulting in some odd lane configurations:

From north to south:

• Wisconsin state line to Edens Spur -- 6 lanes (3 lanes in each direction) -- 8 by 2008/2010
• Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 294) to Edens Expressway (U.S. Highway 41), also known as the Edens Spur -- 4 lanes (2 lanes each way)
• Edens Spur Ramp to/from Edens Expressway -- 2 lanes each way
• Edens Expressway to Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90) -- 6 lanes (3x2)
• Kennedy Expressway at the Junction to Ohio Street -- 10 lanes (2 reversible, 4 westbound, 4 eastbound)
• Ohio Street to Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290) -- 10 lanes (5 westbound, 5 eastbound)
• At the Eisenhower Expressway -- 6 lanes (3 westbound, 3 eastbound)
• From the Eisenhower Expressway to the Stevenson Expressway (Interstate 55) -- 10 lanes (5 eastbound, 5 westbound)

The following sections are being expanded as of 2005 to make ramps safer and to have consistent amounts of lanes:

• From the Stevenson Expressway to the 47th Avenue Slip -- 14 lanes (express: 4 lanes each way, local: 3 lanes each way)
• Between the 47th Avenue and 51st Avenue Slip Ramps -- 14 lanes (express: 3 lanes each way, local: 4 lanes each way)
• 51st Avenue to the Chicago Skyway (Interstate 90) -- 12 lanes (express: 4 lanes each way, local: 2 lanes each way), expanding to 14 by 2007.
• Chicago Skyway to Interstate 57 -- 8 lanes (4 lanes each way)

The following sections have no expansion plans:

• Ramps to/from Bishop Ford Freeway -- 4 lanes (2 lanes each way), with 6 lanes (3 lanes each way) between Michigan Avenue and Cottage Grove Avenue
• Cottage Grove Avenue to Tri-State Tollway and Interstate 80 -- 6 lanes (3 lanes each way)

The following sections are being expanded as of 2005 to widen ramps and through lanes, primarily for the Tri-State Tollway:

• Ramps to/from Kingery Expressway -- 4 lanes (2 lanes each way)
• Bishop Ford Freeway to Indiana state line -- 6 lanes (3 lanes each way), expanding to 8 by 2006.

[edit] Notes

• Interstate 94 is the only purely east-west interstate to form a direct connection into a foreign country (Canada). No such interstate ends at the U.S.-Mexico border. At Port Huron, I-94 crosses the Blue Water Bridge into Sarnia, Ontario and becomes Highway 402, which can be used by motorists going to Toronto. The only other east-west Interstate is I-94's multiplex at that crossing, I-69.
• Through much of Michigan, Interstate 94 follows the route of Old U.S. Highway 12. In the 1990s Michigan set up an "emergency Interstate" system. This system is designed as a permanent set of detours for Interstates in case an impassable problem occurs on the Interstates (in the case of I-94 in this area, the problem is usually very heavy lake effect snow in the winter months and construction in the summer)
• I-94's intersection with M-10 in Detroit, built in 1953 before the Interstate system was even developed, is significant as the first full freeway-to-freeway interchange built in the United States.<ref name="significant">Preliminary List of Nationally and Exceptionally Significant Features of the Interstate Highway System. Retrieved on 2006-07-06.</ref>
• In metro Detroit, Interstate 94 is often colloquially known as the Ford Freeway.
• Through North Dakota, Interstate 94 follows the route once taken by U.S. Highway 10 west from Fargo.
• Interstate 494 was originally planned to serve as a loop in Chicago and follow Lake Shore Drive along Lake Michigan. After local opposition prevented I-494 from being completed, the number was completely dropped. Portions of the old I-494 exist as US 41/Lake Shore Drive.
• 40 miles (64 km) north of the Twin Cities near Otsego, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) operates the Minnesota Road Research Facility, which studies the effect of traffic on various road surface types. Westbound traffic is redirected onto 3.5 miles (5.5 km) of pavement outfitted with thousands of sensors. There is a straight-through bypass (the original highway) that can be used when researchers are examining the road up close.
• The stretch from Portage, Wisconsin to Madison, Wisconsin in which I-94 runs concurrently with I-39 and I-90 is the longest such stretch of three interstates in the country.
• U.S. 52 follows I-94 from St. Paul, Minnesota to Jamestown, North Dakota. It is very poorly signed in Minnesota, but is signed very well on maps and in North Dakota.
• Some parts of I-94 in Illinois are still signed North and South, especially along the Tri-State Tollway. This is because Interstate 94's alignment between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Chicago is north-south. Most signs on the mainline have been replaced with East-West signage in recent years, as of 2005. Mileposts along the portion of I-94 that are part of the Tri-State Tollway reflect the distance from the southeastern (Indiana-border) terminus of the tollway, leading to a counterintuitive increase in the mile numbers as one proceeds "west".
• In 2005, I-94 welcomed its first SPUI interchange after a reconfiguration of its junction with US-24 (Telegraph Road) in Michigan. Formerly the intersection, built during World War II as part of the Detroit Industrial Expressway, was one of the nation's more unusual full interchange designs. Only two bridges were used and left hand exits were used throughout.<ref>http://dse.webonastick.com/maps/1971-detroit-suburbs-aaa</ref>
• I-94 passes next to Six Flags Great America theme park.
• Games between the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs are known as the I-94 Series.
• The stretch of Interstate 94 between Chicago and Detroit is sometimes referred to as the Chicago-Detroit Industrial Freeway.

[edit] Past & Recent news

• Completed just before for Super Bowl XL, in early 2006, I-94 was rebuilt from the Detroit Metropolitan Airport to downtown Detroit.

• Also as of 2005, the I-94 bridge over the Crow River near Saint Michael, Minnesota, about 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is being rebuilt. As well, I-94 in downtown St. Paul between Minnesota State Highway 120 and McKnight Road is being widened, from two to four lanes.

• The new Marquette Interchange, in downtown Milwaukee, will be completed in 2008 at a cost of $810 million dollars. As of 2006, it currently holds the record of having the most cranes present for a single construction project in the U.S..^{[citation needed]}

• The interchange at 95th Ave. N in Maple Grove, Minnesota is also being rebuilt. A new, wider bridge will replace the two-lane bridge there, which was demolished in July, 2006.

• In, 1987, Northwest Airlines Flight 255 crashed in Romulus, Michigan shortly taking off from Detroit Metropolitan Airport underneath the overpass on Middlebelt Rd.
