JSOnline: Progress on interchange makes going easier - New off-ramp, two-way traffic start this weekend
Have you noticed the changes to the Marquette Interchange? Here are the latest developments:St. Paul Avenue
The last one-way stretch of St. Paul Avenue was recently converted to two-way traffic.
Plankinton Avenue Ramp
The new off-ramp was recently opened to traffic from northbound I-43/94 to North Plankinton Avenue. The original plans of the new interchange scrapped the idea of an off-ramp to Plankinton Avenue. As a result of upset business owners who complained about the loss of this ramp, the Department of Transportation agreed to include a Plankinton Avenue exit. The department designed this new ramp to help eliminate the weaving pattern the old ramp created; therefore, directing traffic to Plankinton Avenue from I-43 instead of I-794.
The return of three lanes on I-43
By the middle of October, freeway traffic will be restored to three lanes each way both north and south of downtown
