To extend the service lives of both bridges, WisDOT is proposing the following at:

• Overlaying the bridge deck with concrete.
• Making concrete surface repairs.
• Adding stainless steel flashing along the edge of the deck.
• Cleaning and painting bearings.
• Painting girder ends.

• Replacing guardrail.

During construction, US 10 will:

• Remain open to a single lane of traffic controlled by temporary traffic signals at the Buffalo River.
• Be closed to through traffic at Lindsay Creek, with traffic detoured via WIS 37, I-94, WIS 93 and US 10.

Construction on both structures currently is scheduled for 2028.
