Road construction can mean a different set of challenges for businesses, and WisDOT is here to help. This page provides guides, checklists, and examples to help you manage your business as the I-94 East-West Project is constructed.
Closures and other impacts may start at the end of 2025 or early 2026. When plans are further refined, we will have information on how you can connect with a project team member regarding temporary business signage opportunities. In the meantime, check out the standard guidelines and resources at the bottom of the page.

The Road Construction Guide
WisDOT recognizes that businesses located in roadway work zones have specific needs, and their customers must have access and continue to visit during construction. WisDOT created the In This Together guide as an idea source to share tips and techniques to support your business during a highway construction.
This distribution list allows WisDOT to send project information via email to subscribers to help keep customers well informed. Anyone interested in the I-94 East-West Corridor may subscribe to the distribution list via the prompt below.
