OKRoads -- Interstate 794 Wisconsin

Interstate 794 connects Interstate 43 and Interstate 94 at the Marquette Interchange to the Lake Michigan lakefront area. It spans 3.75 miles and transitions into Wisconsin 794 at its eastern terminus near the Port of Milwaukee. This page covers both the interstate and the state highway. Interstate 794 is signed east-west, and Wisconsin 794 is signed north-south. Interstate 794 East becomes Wisconsin 794 South, and vice versa.
