Cruising our way to the 8th wonder of the world on state highway 311 in Mount Pleasant, Racine County, Wisconsin

 

SH311 is a recently construction, divided, 4-lane highway that run parallel to Interstate 94.   At a mere 2 miles in length, it is undoubtedly one of the shortest state-maintained highways.

Note the streams of traffic in the northbound lanes.

“Wisconn Valley" was the name coined by former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Foxconn CEO Terry Gou. At the time, Foxconn was promising to create 13,000 jobs in Wisconsin in exchange for nearly $3 billion in state tax credits. 

Foxconn was also going to give $100 million to UW-Madison, build innovation centers across the state and open the company's North American headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. 

None of those things have happened.
