Who has traveled on I-94?

[JoePCool14]

Living only a couple miles from it near Chicago, I've traveled from the junction with I-43 in Milwaukee down to where it splits with the Chicago Skyway. Then pick it back up from where it meets I-80/Tri-state all the way through to Ann Arbor, MI. It's the interstate I've frequented the second most, following I-294.

[Flint1979]

The only part of I-94 I haven't traveled on is the stretch from the Twin Cities to the western terminus. I've done the Twin Cities to Port Huron.

[MN34]

Bismarck to Minneapolis.

[7/8]

Update, from west to east:

1) From I-90 NW of downtown Chicago to the Loop
2) From I-294 in Chicagoland to M-14 in Ann Arbor, MI
3) From US 23 in Ann Arbor to M-39 in Allen Park, MI
4) From US 12 in Dearborn, MI to the border

I'm now at 94.99% mileage driven on Michigan's I-94

[Max Rockatansky]

Drove a ton of I-94 on a recent road trip.  Below is the segment from the Indiana Toll Road east to Woodward Avenue in Detroit:

Update as of last August: I-90 near Billings, Montana to the Saint Clair River.

[inkyatari]

Detroit to Minneapolis.. Not all in one go.

[frankenroad]

From West to East:

Possibly a little piece in Minneapolis
I-90/94 split at Tomah to I-294 (north end)
I-294 (south end) to I-65 (concurrent with I-80)
US-131 to I-69 (at Marshall)
S State St in Ann Arbor to DTW
I-75 to the Blue Water Bridge

[thspfc]

From Minneapolis to General Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee, and on its concurrency with I-90 through Chicago.

[countysigns]

From Port Huron, MI to Tomah, WI.

[ftballfan]

In several segments:
1. From I-494/I-694 (eastern MSP suburbs) to US-12 (Eau Claire, WI)
2. From IL-132 (Six Flags Great America exit) to I-196 (Benton Harbor, MI, Exit 34)
3. From Mattawan, MI (Exit 66) to M-59 (Mt. Clemens, MI, Exit 240)

[dlsterner]

Just two tiny pieces in Michigan - from the Detroit airport (actually rental car pickup) to I-275, and a brief concurrency with US 31 near Benton Harbor.  Probably about 20 miles combined.

[mrose]

Minneapolis, MN to Eau Claire, WI
Wisconsin Dells, WI to Madison WI
Johnson Creek, WI to Delafield, WI
Several segments in Milwaukee area
Kenosha, WI to Gurnee, IL
Kennedy Expwy in Chicago
South Chicago IL, to Benton Heights, MI

[Super Mateo]

Somehow, I've never been on the Edens (I-94 between Northbrook, IL and Chicago's north side).  As for the rest:

Milwaukee, WI; being of the top level of an interchange to stay on I-94 really made vertigo kick in
south of Milwaukee, WI; was forced off the highway due to a road closure the first time, smooth trip the second
Lake County, IL; traffic wasn't too heavy, but the speeding was absolutely ridiculous
Chicago (Kennedy); an overloaded road with too many exits and entrances
Chicago (Ryan); absolute misery every time
Chicago (Ford); still plenty of pain here, especially if I try to go from Stony Island to I-57, but mostly just lots of traffic
IL/IN border area; like driving in a video game.  Trucks in lanes they're not allowed in, people weaving in and out, random backups...
Southeast suburbs (IN); stay in the left lane anywhere west of I-65 if you hope to actually get anywhere
Rest of IN; smooth ride
New Buffalo, MI; last time by, this really needed a repaving

Unfortunately, I-94 is a terrible experience between the north side of Chicago and Lake Station, IN.  The rest has its flaws, but it isn't nearly as bad.

[webny99]

Currently, I-29 in Fargo, ND all the way to US-14 in Janesville, WI over a few different trips.

I know this is old, but I might note that I-94 doesn't go through Janesville; it splits from I-90 well north of there. I think you meant Madison. 

In any case, I also have traveled that segment of I-94 (Fargo to Madison)* as well as (a) the multiplex with I-90 in downtown Chicago, and (b) in Michigan, the segment from the Canadian border at Port Huron to Dearborn.

*I don't think I've clinched the segment between downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis, but I've done everything else between Fargo and Madison - much of it multiple times.

[KEVIN_224]

No. Never have. I don't drive either. The closest I've been to I-94 is in its center median. I was at the Sox/35th CTA Red Line station in 2009. I wanted to check out the White Sox ballpark nearby.

You're right, I did mean Madison. For trip that got me out there, I got on I-39/90 in Janesville and just had a brain fart when I posted.

[MantyMadTown]

I have–from the Twin Cities to Chicago. I may or may not have traveled on the segment of I-94 between I-294 and I-90, I don't remember.

Pretty nice ballpark in a pretty quiet part of the Southside. I love the 35th Street bridge on one side where it says CHICAGO WHITE SOX and the other side saying I.I.T.

Milwaukee to Port Huron.

I think the worst stretch of I-94 is between Benton Harbor and Ann Arbor, two lanes in each direction of nothing but truck traffic on a pothole ridden highway. But the stretch you mentioned is a pretty bad experience too. I honestly think though that I-94 needs to be rebuilt from New Buffalo to Port Huron.

Four lanes as it might be the roadway is nowhere near as bad as I remember it (having recently drove it) aside from the disaster that is the stretch in Jackson.

I've driven back and forth to Chicago so much I've lost count. It's pretty bad in the Kalamazoo area, the closer you get to Detroit the worse it gets. I-94 is so bad that I've started to go out to US-131 and drop down to I-196 to avoid most of it. I-196 is four lanes too but it doesn't have as much traffic as I-94 does.

I had the benefit of using I-69 to avoid much of it when I lived in Lansing heading towards Chicago.  No doubt the traffic count warrants six lanes but what surprised me is the road condition aside from Jackson was no where near as bad as I remember it.  Granted it has been two decades since I regularly drove that stretch but the Jackson portion seemed to be what used to be much more the norm.

Lansing is my quarter way mark to Chicago with Kalamazoo being the halfway mark so I've used I-69 between Lansing and Marshall lots of times that's how I get to I-94 going out that direction usually. It was always fine until I got to I-94, the stretch of I-69 between Lansing and Marshall but once you get on I-94 it's nothing but major truck traffic and I remember potholes being in the road in areas.

The way I look at it is like this, I-94 between Chicago and Detroit is a major truck route with a lot more traffic going in between both cities. I suppose you could take US-12 which of course would take a lot more time or drop down to I-80/90 which is a lot nicer than I-94.
