The Barrett Bypass

On Friday, March 26, 2010, the state of Wisconsin took the unprecedented step of shutting down a bridge on the Zoo Interchange (the state's busiest) due to safety concerns.

for the Zoo Interchange in 2005

“It is amazing that Governor Doyle and Mayor Barrett can advocate spending $810 million on a new 'high-speed' rail line while the state government cannot even fix one of the busiest interchanges in Wisconsin. Years of raiding the Transportation Fund and years of Milwaukee politicians like the Mayor fighting work on the East-West corridor have now led to a crisis that will have a negative impact on commerce.”
