As the Marquette Interchange transitions into I-794 between downtown, ramps and bridges soar above blocks that border the Menomonee and Milwaukee rivers and the thriving Historic Third Ward. While some buildings have been redeveloped here, the freeway disrupts their connections to the rest of the city and limits development of riverfront land that elsewhere is in high demand.
