It follows I-94 north to the Mitchell Interchange, I-894 and US 45 around Milwaukee and then joins US 41 north to Green Bay where it ends at the I-43 Interchange. Mark Gottlieb the Secretary of the State Department of Transportation thanked the Governor and all the elected officials who helped the new interstate become a reality including former Congressman Tom Petri.
