Causeway at Winnegance Creates New Lake and Boating Hub
Builders pour concrete on the Winnegance fill and spillway replacing a bridge with a permanent causeway. The new water body will be a scenic lake, enabling boating and swimming in summer and ice sports in winter, with higher initial cost offset by reduced bridge repairs. The project mirrors Lincoln county efforts to similar success.
