Enumeration of the I 39/90/94 project
Under current law, major highway projects must be specifically authorized by the legislature and approved by the transportation projects commission before construction on the project may begin. This bill enumerates the I 39/90/94 project, which the bill defines to mean “I 39/90/94 extending approximately 67 miles in Dane, Columbia, Sauk, and Juneau counties from USH 12/18 in Madison to USH 12/STH 16 in Wisconsin Dells, including I 39 from I 90/94 to Levee Road near the city of Portage, and including all interchanges and work on adjacent roadways necessary for the completion of the project.”
Currently, DOT is appropriated moneys for various purposes relating to state highway facilities. DOT is prohibited from encumbering or expending those moneys for purposes related to the purchase of land, easements, or development rights in land, unless the purchase is in association with a highway project and the land or interest in land is located within one-quarter mile of the highway. The bill exempts the I 39/90/94 project from this prohibition.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
