STH-164 Relocation Photos, October 16, 2004

Eastbound I-94 approaching Exit 294 near Waukesha. Formerly, this interchange served only CTH-J with both directions of STH-164 accessed from the next interchange to the east, Exit 295. Notice both the temporarily covered STH-164 marker as well as the uncovered "STH-164 SOUTH" listing on the I-94 EAST "pull-through" sign. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

The first STH-164 reassurance marker north of I-94 along what becomes CTH-F in November 2004. The "Sussex 5" distance sign is left over from a time when STH-164 actually went to that community prior to 1999. You can see the new wooden signposts already planted behind the old sign which will bear the CTH-F marker and other signs. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

Old route marker assemblies which have been removed from the STH-164/CTH-J/Pewaukee Rd & STH-190/Capitol Dr intersection on the eastern edge of the Village of Pewaukee. These signs were likely removed during the reconstruction of the intersection and will not be replaced due to the route changes takinge effect in November. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert.

STH-164 southbound at the STH-190/Capitol Dr intersection on the eastern edge of the Village of Pewaukee showing the construction in progress. At the time of the photo, STH-164 turns left (east) with STH-190 for one mile before turning south again, while CTH-J continues straight ahead into Waukesha. In November 2004, STH-164 will continue straight through this intersection to I-94. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

STH-164 and STH-190 reassurance route markers along eastbound Capitol Dr just east of the STH-164 (North) and CTH-J intersection. As STH-164 will be routed off this stretch of highway in November 2004, WisDOT has already prepared by planting a new single wooden signpost behind these existing signs for the STH-190 marker, which will remain here.

Eastbound STH-190/STH-164/Capitol Dr approaching the STH-164 SOUTH & STH-74 NORTH interchange between Pewaukee and Brookfield. This photo shows how traffic bound for both southbound STH-164 and northbound STH-74. After November 2004 when STH-164 is relocated onto CTH-J, the existing STH-164 heading southerly from here will be redesignated CTH-F. The new posts to support the new route signage here are in place behind the existing signs. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

Signs posted at the end of the off-ramp from STH-190/Capitol Dr pointing the way for STH-164 and STH-74 traffic. In November 2004, the highway to the left will be handed back to Waukesha Co and redesignated CTH-F. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

This photo shows construction on CTH-J/Pewaukee Rd south of the STH-190/STH-164/Capitol Dr intersection. When this construction is complete, this brand new portion of CTH-J will be transferred to the state and become STH-164. Photo ©2004 by Christopher J. Bessert. All Rights Reserved.

This rather crappy photo shows the construction along CTH-J between STH-190/Capitol Dr and Green Rd southeast of the Village of Pewaukee. All traffic is utilizing the new northbound lanes while the finishing touches are made to the new southbound lanes. When construction is complete, this portion of CTH-J becomes STH-164 in November.
