Location
The Hall Estate Road/160th Street Bridge over I-94 is in the Dunn County town of Lucas between interchange exit 41 (WIS 25, Menomonie/Barron) and interchange exit 32 (County Q, Knapp).
Overview
Built in 1958, the bridge is reaching the end of its service life. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is proposing to:
- Replace the bridge.
- The new structure will be raised to improve vertical clearance for I-94 traffic and lengthened to accommodate a future six-lane interstate.
- Replace the roadway approaches on either side of the bridge.
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2026.
Traffic Impacts
During construction:
- Hall Estate Road/160th Street will be closed to through traffic.
- Two lanes of traffic for east- and westbound I-94 will be maintained during construction. However, I-94 might be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction during off-peak times to complete the needed work.
- Nighttime full closures of I- 94 will be required for removal of existing girders and setting of new ones.
