Route Description
The route enters from Minnesota over the Mississippi River just northwest of La Crosse. The route passes north of La Crosse and south of Onalaska as it heads towards Tomah. Once there, it joins Interstate 94. The two interstates remain joined for the next 91.76 miles (147.67 km) to Madison. The route collects Interstate 39, 63 miles (101 km) southeast of Tomah (near Portage). This concurrency (30 miles) is the longest three-route concurrency of the Interstate Highway system and only one of two in existence. I-39 continues along I-90 for the remaining 78 miles (126 km) in Wisconsin.
I-94 breaks away eastward toward Milwaukee at what is commonly known as the Badger Interchange, where the three interstates meet with WIS 30. The remaining routes continue south to Janesville and Beloit before exiting the state.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
