WEST GRANGE AVENUE BRIDGE
OVER CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD
REHABILITATION PROJECT

OVERVIEW

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.

FUNDING

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.
