'''Interstate&nbsp;894''' ('''I-894''') is a {{convert|9.92|mi|km|adj=on}} [[auxiliary Interstate Highway]] in [[Milwaukee County, Wisconsin|Milwaukee County]] in the US state of Wisconsin. The route serves as a [[bypass (road)|bypass]] of downtown [[Milwaukee]], connecting with [[Interstate 94 in Wisconsin|I-94]] at the [[Zoo Interchange]] west of downtown and the [[Mitchell Interchange]] south of downtown. The route [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with three other highways for its duration, following [[U.S. Route 45 in Wisconsin|US Highway&nbsp;45]] (US&nbsp;45) from the Zoo Interchange to [[Hale Interchange]] as the '''Zoo Freeway''', where it separates from US&nbsp;45 to follow [[Interstate 43|I-43]] heading east to the Mitchell Interchange as the '''Airport Freeway'''. In local [[traffic reporting]] and casual conversation, it is known simply as "the bypass" or "894", with "41" also being more recently used, as I-894 is entirely concurrent with [[Interstate 41|I-41]]/[[U.S. Route 41 in Wisconsin|US&nbsp;41]]. The east–west portion is also concurrent with I-43.

I-894 is part of what was proposed to be an extensive freeway network around the Milwaukee area. The Zoo Freeway portion was completed from Beloit Road northward in 1963, and the Airport Freeway and remaining segment of the Zoo Freeway were completed in 1966. I-43 was routed concurrently with I-894 in 1987.<ref name="WH_894" />
