2009 State Fair recap

I-94 North South Corridor exhibit at the 2009 Wisconsin State FairWisDOT was in attendance again this year at the Wisconsin State Fair, which ran August 6 to 16 at the Wisconsin Expo Center in West Allis. The I-94 North-South Freeway Project Team and US 41 Team both hosted booths to present construction schedules and progress, display and explain their respective 3D models, and answer specific design and construction questions for both projects.

Overall, more than 75 representatives from both projects staffed the booths, which saw thousands of visitors throughout the 10 days of the fair. Booth visitors were especially intrigued by drive-through animations shown by both projects for motorists to better understand how the new roadways will look and feel post-construction.

The Wisconsin State Patrol was also in attendance to demonstrate proper car seat usage, and share safety information.
