UPDATE: All lanes have reopened
Original story:
I-794 eastbound and westbound remains closed between the Marquette Interchange and the Lake Interchange because of a utility emergency.
A large plume of steam north 2nd Street, right under 794, basically enveloped the highway and caused some visibility issues during the morning commute.
A statement from We Energies states: “Heavy rain Sunday and early Monday morning caused flooding in parts of our steam system in Downtown Milwaukee – creating large steam plumes in parts of downtown. We are investigating a steam system outage that is impacting some customers.”
