Lighthouse Lanes Bridge Replacement

planned

The project involves reconstructing and expanding the Lighthouse Lanes bridge in the Town of Barton, Wisconsin. The new bridge will be a straightforward concrete structure with two piers in the water, prioritizing safety and durability. It will be widened from about 19 feet to 40 feet to accommodate two-lane traffic, including one lane in each direction plus a shoulder. The design includes eight-foot-wide shoulders for pedestrians and future cyclists, aligning with long-term bicycle route planning. Construction is scheduled to start in February 2027 with environmental protections in place, and completion is expected before the end of October 2027. The project cost is estimated at $1.25 million, with 80% federal funding and 20% local funding.
