Release date: September 8, 2026
To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Gov. Tony Evers has signed a $554,732 contract with prime contractor Lunda Construction Co. of Black River Falls for a project rehabilitating the bridge that carries WIS 35 over Waumandee Creek northwest of Fountain City in Buffalo County. Construction is scheduled to start Monday, Sept. 14.
Built in 1985, the bridge needs maintenance. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) project is:
- Making repairs to the bridge deck
- Overlaying the bridge deck with concrete
- Replacing tipping wing walls
During construction, WIS 35 will remain open to a single lane of traffic across the bridge controlled by temporary traffic signals.
Construction is scheduled for completion in late October.
