To invest in Wisconsin’s transportation system, Gov. Tony Evers has signed an $846,790 contract with prime contractor Pheifer Brothers Construction Co. of Neenah for the rehabilitation of the bridge carrying WIS 35 over the Big River southeast of Prescott in Pierce County. Construction is scheduled to start Friday, May 10.

The bridge is showing some signs of deterioration. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation project will:

  • Replace the bridge deck.
  • Repair the abutments.
  • Widen the width of the bridge.

During construction, WIS 35 will remain open to a single lane of traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals.

Construction is scheduled for completion in August.
