Study Overview
The Lake Interchange Study is evaluating alternatives for the I-794 freeway corridor. The study is focused on aging infrastructure along a section of I-794 known as the Lake Interchange. The study corridor extends beyond the Lake Interchange, generally from the Marquette Interchange to the Hoan Bridge, due to the interconnectedness of the freeway and its ramps in this area. The study is exploring ideas to improve the freeway corridor while also considering how the project could improve local street connectivity and safety so all modes of transportation can thrive in this urban environment. The study is not considering changes to the main span of the Hoan Bridge.
