Plan to Replace Old Bridge on Highway 61
Plans to replace the old covered wooden bridge over the Wisconsin River at Boscobel on Highway 61 with a modern steel and concrete structure proceed after a bridges and right of way committee recommendation. The new bridge is estimated around 250,000 dollars, funded by federal and state programs, with earlier taxation debates tied to the nearby Bridgeport project. The bridge, dating to 1876 and formerly toll, has seen traffic rise as routes shifted and is slated for construction under a recent act encouraging intercounty and federal funding.
