Walker's I/39-90 expansion is dead; this blog noted its costs

Walker is signaling that his bloated road-budget needs major surgery:

DOT scraps study of interstate expansion from Madison to Wisconsin Dells

As I wrote in 2011:

Where is all the money for all these road projects Walker wants? 

Including:

I‐39/90, Dane, Columbia and Sauk counties, US 12 (Madison Beltline) to Wisconsin Dells.

Also noted in this 2015 posting:

Data has been available for a long time exposing Wisconsin's lobbyist-driven plan to over-borrow-and-spend on wider highways the public doesn't want or need or can afford (think I-94 from Miller Park to the man-made mess known as the Zoo Interchange or the projected expansion of I-39/90 from Rockford to the Wisconsin Dells, for just two among many examples).

 
What took them so long to come to their senses?

And where's my consulting check?
