I-94 End to End: States, Miles and Mile Markers

Measured state by state, I-94 runs 1,604 miles west to east from Lockwood, Montana to Port Huron, Michigan, crossing 7 states. Its longest stretch is 351 miles across North Dakota; its shortest is 46 miles in Indiana.

State Miles Share Cities and mile markers
Montana 249 16% Billings 0
North Dakota 351 22% Dickinson 61 · Bismarck 158 · Fargo 350
Minnesota 259 16% Saint Cloud 171 · Minneapolis 231 · Saint Paul 243

Illinois 77 5% Chicago 51
Indiana 46 3% —
Michigan 275 17% Detroit 214

Mile markers count from each state's western line and start again at the next one, which is how most states number their exits as well. They are measured along the same road geometry these pages draw, so they land within a mile or two of the posted markers. A toll road that runs its own continuous numbering is the exception — on the New York Thruway the posts continue from New York City — and there the figure is how far into the state the place is rather than the number on the sign. Distances are measured state by state, never across a gap.

Snow and Ice Reports on I-94

Winter reporting is off for the season. The state DOT feeds this page reads for North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois run from October 15 to April 15; outside that window they change only as needed. Our own forecast below runs year-round.

Reports for North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois come from each state's DOT, entered by maintenance staff and describing what is on the pavement, not the forecast; the state pages carry each DOT's terms and notices. No DOT winter report is read here yet for Montana, Indiana and Michigan. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.
