Wisconsin River Crossing WIS-130 Lone Rock, WI
Project Background North The WIS-130 Wisconsin Bridge River crossing consists Middle of three bridges that Bridge were built between 1932 and 1942. Two of the bridges are structurally deficient. South Bridge Three are functionally obsolete with narrow clear widths ranging from 20 to 24 feet.
Project Background Purpose of the project was to address the deteriorating structures across the Wisconsin River while avoiding/minimizing any impacts. Two top alternatives: Alt. 1P – Near adjacent • structure reconstruction with two bridges Alt. 5 – Planned • elimination at end of service life (2028)
Project Summary WIS-130 crossing provides direct access to/from the Village of Lone Rock, WI. Alternative river crossings: • Muscoda – 12 miles to the west • Spring Green – 8 miles to the east Muscoda Lone Rock Spring WIS-130 Green Crossing
Calibration Used AADT values available through WisDOT to calibrate the results Traffic volumes communicate the magnitude of the impact
