There are currently several issues <br />at this interchange, including heavy delay and long queues (mainly southbound Highway 101 during <br />the AM peak hour), poor lane utilization on southbound Highway 101, and vehicles bypassing the <br />queue and making U-turns south of the interchange to use the northbound -to -eastbound ramp. <br />Additionally, during both peaks, the northbound -to -westbound turn lane can become congested <br />with long queues and there are high numbers of heavy vehicles and uphill grades on southbound <br />Highway 101 near the interchange. <br />Figure 36: I-94/Hwy 101 Interchange <br />Three conditions were evaluated for the I-94/Highway 101 interchange: <br />1. Conversion to Diverging Diamond Interchange with no new river crossing. <br />2. Addition of a new southbound-to-eastbound flyover with no new river crossing. <br />3. Existing configuration with a new river crossing. <br />Northwest Metro Mississippi River Crossing Feasibility Analysis <br />
