This bill authorizes DOT to fund preliminary engineering and design work associated with the reconstruction of I 94 in Milwaukee County from 70th Street to 25th Street from its state-funded major highway projects appropriation, during the 2013-15 fiscal biennium, if a record of decision on the project's environmental impact study is issued during the 2013-15 fiscal biennium. The project may be funded from this appropriation even if the project qualifies as a southeast Wisconsin freeway megaproject rather than a major highway project.
