The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking public input on a proposed maintenance project on the bridge that carries WIS 29 over the Trimbelle River east of the city of River Falls in Pierce County.

The public is invited to go to the project website, review information about the proposed work and submit comments by Nov. 13, 2026, by:

  • Email: fagen@dot.wi.gov
  • Mail: Wisconsin Department of Transportation
    718 W. Clairemont Ave.
             Eau Claire, W 54701
    : Elizabeth Fagen

Built in 1941, the bridge is in need of maintenance. WisDOT is proposing:

  • Overlaying the bridge deck with concrete
  • Completing ancillary work on the rest of structure
  • Repaving roadway approaches

During construction, WIS 29 will remain open to a single lane of traffic at the bridge controlled by temporary traffic signals.

Construction currently is scheduled for 2029.
