A five-mile stretch of I-94's normal westbound lanes near Johnson Creek remains closed this morning.
Drivers going both directions of I-94 are still using one lane today.
Jefferson's police chief is also seeing cracks in the Main Street bridge that were not there before the recent flooding started.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says it still has to wait for water to recede before it can inspect bridges that recent floods may have damaged.
