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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
