Welcome! Where in Wisconsin are you from? We have members in Waukesha and Platteville here (and maybe others). It's a shame it's so far away (I'm in Oklahoma) because I really do enjoy visiting it. Last time I got to clinch I-43!

I-94 through Milwaukee is really epic 'cuz theres the power towers, miller park, marquette interchange, and that below-grade section somewhere between miller park way and marquette.

Welcome abroad from Appleton!

BTW, are you aware of WHY that section of I-94 is narrow and depressed like it is there, as well as why those power towers use that somewhat unique design (hint, it is the same reason)?

Nope, I-94 and those power towers mark the route of an electric interurban railroad (nowadays called 'light rail') line that was abandoned about 50 years ago.  The part of I-94 in that narrow cut by 27th St was built on that abandoned ROW.
