I totally missed Scott Walker’s first State of the State Address last night, and with all of the snow coverage, I totally missed the story that Scott Walker announced that the Zoo Interchange rebuild time table has been moved up. You will remember that Gov. Jim Doyle, at the urging of Mayor Tom Barrett and many Milwaukee politicians, delayed this much needed rebuild by about 10 years, this before last years closure and emergency repairs of the interchange due to the crumbling ramps, that became known during the election cycle as the Barrett Bypass.
Money and resources are being diverted from the major I-94 North-South freeway construction. This will delay much of the ongoing construction, but the Zoo Interchange is the busiest and most important interchange in the state, and this work needs to be done.
h/t: Mark Belling."
Two Points, I wonder if this was pay back to Barrett and the rest of the left in Milwaukee. Second, if he needs to save DOT money , Redo the expansion of the Appleton to Green Bay upgrade.
I don't have a problem, HWY 41 up north needs it. What we don't need to spend money on all the roundabouts planned for the area.
CUT OUT THE ROUNDABOUTS!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Barrett OPPOSES the re-do of the 94/894/45 intersection. That's why it was put off so long that the damn bridge fell down.
So it's more like Walker shoving all that concrete up Barrett's.....ahh....tax base.
Hey Dad,
Would Barrett get quick dry or standard cement. I think Walker would use quikrete. He wants to do things and get them done fast!
Have a GREAT night.
