Wisconsin Street Bridge Finally Opening

I received the following forwarded email from Public Works Director David Patek regarding the opening of the Wisconsin Street bridge and Witzel Avenue intersection. However, Ohio Street is scheduled to remain closed "probably for another week" according to email from Tom Buchholz of the WI-DOT.

The weather has cooperated with contractors so Witzel Avenue across new Wisconsin Street Bridge will be open Thursday afternoon. Pavement marking is set to begin later today and tomorrow, traffic signals will be turned and powered, and final street lighting complete by Thursday. Thursday afternoon ride home for work should be better for many.

Ohio Street will remain closed to through traffic probably for another week to finish up asphalt in driveways, lighting, landscaping, weather dependent of course. We will plan to send press release when we are ready to open Ohio Street.

  • there have been many days that absolutly nobody was working on this project. It is abhorrant that the city did not monitor this more closly

  • I'm married to a civil engineer who works for the county. Just because you don't see someone everyday doesn't mean that work isn't getting done. Trust me I have complained enough to him about projects that I now learned a lot more about the projects and how things work.
