New Prairie Bridge Redesign To Secure Federal Aid
PRAIRIE DU CHIEN WIS The design of the new bridge across the Mississippi must be widened to 40 foot roadbeds for federal aid under the 1970 Highway Act. A May 24 meeting in Ames between Wisconsin and Iowa highway officials will discuss redesign. If approved, federal aid covers about 75 percent of the estimated five million dollar construction cost. The project carries U S Highway 18 between Prairie du Chien and Marquette Iowa. A two span bridge would replace the present structure and engineers seek to dredge one million yards of fill from the river. The Corps of Engineers is asked to allow preservation of the center span for sportsmen.
