Lanes Open, following separate crashes that shut down traffic in Zoo and Marquette interchanges

MILWAUKEE – Two separate crashes caused freeway closures through both of Milwaukee’s major interchanges on Saturday afternoon.

All lanes of traffic on I-94 West were shut down through the Zoo Interchange just after 10:00 a.m. due to a serious crash. As of 1:00 p.m., those lanes remained closed.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the closure in a tweet, asking motorists to avoid the area if possible.

Traffic was being diverted onto I-41 North.

Meanwhile, a serious crash involving a single vehicle caused a closure of the ramp connecting I-43/94 North to I-94 West.

That crash caused heavy delays on I-43 North with backups reported for several miles.

All lanes of traffic on I-43/94 North were reopened around 1:10 p.m.

MCSO is conducting a full freeway closure westbound I-94 thru the Zoo Interchange due to a serious single vehicle crash. All traffic is being diverted to I-41 northbound. Please choose an alternate route and slow down for first responders.
