According to a news release from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, public input is requested for the US 12/Robert St. bridge project in Fort Atkinson. The DOT has begun designing the project on US12/Robert St. over the Rock River. The project is planned for construction in summer 2022, and detour routes will be provided for pedestrians and vehicles. Residents can provide input by calling Wisconsin DOT Project Manager Frank Pritzlaff at (262) 548-5683.
The proposed improvements include:
• Replacing the concrete bridge deck on the existing prestressed concrete
girders. The existing sidewalk along the bridge will be replaced and
widened to six feet with a barrier wall separating traffic to improve
pedestrian safety crossing the bridge.
• Reconstructing bridge approaches at each end to connect the new bridge
deck.
• Replacing guardrail and curb and gutter along the south approach.
• Potential reconstruction of sidewalk curb ramps to meet Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
• Updating street lights across the bridge.
