The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works and State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation are planning a rehabilitation project to improve the West Grange Avenue Bridge Over the Canadian Pacific Railroad, which was built in 1976. Around 5,670 vehicles travel on this local roadway between South 9th Street and South 13th Street per day. The proposed work will consist of replacing the concrete deck and roadway approach, repairing the bridge piers and abutments, refurbishing steel components and installing a new railing.
The proposed construction will take place in two stages to maintain traffic in both directions.
Estimated cost of the project is $2 to 2.5 million. Federal aid will pay for 80% of the cost and the City will pay for the remaining 20%. No assessments to property owners are currently anticipated as part of this project.
We are currently in the preliminary design phase. Construction is anticipated to take place in 2022.
A traditional Public Information Meeting was not be held due to the potential health risks associated with COVID-19. Surrounding property owners were notified of the project through a mailing with comment forms.
Let us know where you see issues and opportunities for improvement on the West Grange Avenue Bridge! We would like to receive comments by October 31st.
