From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interstate 794 (abbreviated I-794) is an east-west interstate highway spur route in Milwaukee County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs for 3.75 miles from a western terminus at the Marquette Interchange in downtown Milwaukee, where Interstate 94 and Interstate 43 meet. At its eastern terminus (at Carferry Drive), the highway loses its interstate designation but continues south as WIS 794 and Lake Parkway to the intersection of Pennsylvania and Grange Avenues on Cudahy's west side, paralleling the east side of Mitchell Airport.
The original plans for I-794 were for it to continue from the Downtown Milwaukee area to Mitchell Airport, however, they were not realized at its original construction, leaving it unfinished for many years. This has led the Hoan Bridge to be called "The Bridge to Nowhere." This unfinished construction was used as the site of the car chase scene in the movie The Blues Brothers.
