I-94 (Hall Estate Road/160th Street Bridge), town of Lucas - Dunn County

Loca​​tion​​

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).

Ov​erview

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.

Sc​hedule

Construction currently is scheduled for 2026.

Traffic I​​mpacts

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.

    • During full closures of I-94 or periods of extreme congestion, I-94 traffic will be directed to use the existing alternate route of US 12 between the I-94 interchanges at WIS 128 southwest of the St. Croix County village of Wilson and WIS 25 in Menomonie.
