WIS 22, WIS 49 Bridge Overlays

Lo​​​​cation

WIS 22, Montello to Wautoma; WIS 49, Auroraville to Fremont; Waushara County Bridge Structures

Project ​Overview

The concrete on the bridge decks on these sections of WIS 22 and WIS 49 are showing signs of deterioration and exhibiting forms of cracking. An improvement project is needed to ensure that the life of the structure and the state’s investment in these bridges is maximized.

Proposed improvements include:

  • Mill and overlay the bridge decks and approaches
  • Upgrade the guardrail to current standards
  • Restain parapets

Traffic ​Impacts

During construction, the bridges are to remain open to one lane of traffic utilizing temporary signals. Motorists can expect some delays to occur, but delays will be minimal.

Real Est​​ate

No real estate is anticipated
