State transportation officials say they'll make sure all Interstate 94 lanes are open for the Wisconsin Badgers game Saturday night, unlike last week when late night roadwork caused a huge backup after the game.

The Department of Transportation blames a miscommunication for a lane closure around Lake Mills and Johnson Creek. Fans returning to the Milwaukee area from the Ohio State game in Madison spent hours on the interstate in a long traffic jam.

Thomas Worringer says he finally made it home to Wauwatosa about 2 a.m. after crawling along I-94 at 1 to 4 mph.

DOT spokeswoman Peg Schmitt says both eastbound lanes should have been kept open because of the Badgers game. Schmitt says the same thing won't happen for the Penn State game Saturday night.
