Location
The proposed project includes the following structures:
- Jackson County: I-94 east- and westbound bridges over the south fork of the Buffalo River southeast of Osseo
- St. Croix County: County J bridge over I-94 southeast of Roberts
- Trempealeau County: East- and westbound I-94 bridges over County NN/Buffalo River State Trail and east- and westbound I-94 bridges over the north fork of the Buffalo River, all north of Osseo.
Overview
The structures need preventive maintenance to extend the life of each. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation project will do the following:
- Jackson County bridges:
- Clean and make repairs on existing concrete bridge decks
- Add a high-friction surface treatment on bridge decks
- St. Croix and Trempealeau County bridges
- Clean and make repairs on the existing concrete bridge decks
- Place a thin polymer overlay over the decks
Schedule
Construction currently is scheduled for 2028.
Traffic Impacts
During work, I-94 will remain open to traffic, but motorists will encounter:
- Lane closures controlled by flagging on County J.
- Single-lane closures during off-peak travel times on I-94.
- A reduction in speed from 70 mph to 55 mph on the interstate in work zones.
