Bay Freeway (Milwaukee)
The Bay Freeway was the name of a freeway proposed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. No portion of the freeway was constructed. It was intended to be an east–west freeway running on the north side of the city. It was to begin at Interstate 43 (I-43) in Glendale, near Hampton Avenue. From there it would run westerly to the proposed interchange with the Stadium Freeway and the Fond du Lac Freeway. The Bay Freeway would have overlapped the Fond du Lac Freeway for approximately two miles (3.2 km) before splitting off and continuing westward, intersecting the Zoo Freeway and continuing through Menomonee Falls and Pewaukee before joining U.S. Highway 16 (now Wisconsin Highway 16 since 1978[2]).[1]
