Last year, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) reconstructed the bridge to current design and safety standards, providing safer accommodations for fishing, snowmobiling, and river traffic. “In addition to an improvement to the region’s transportation system, the new Winneconne bridge represents a unique investment in the community,” WisDOT Secretary-designee Craig Thompson said regarding the $11.4 million project. “It is an honor to have one of WisDOT’s projects recognized by America’s Transportation Awards,” WisDOT Northeast Region Director Colleen Harris said. The result is a very special bridge that maintains the community’s tradition of fishing and using the Wolf River.”
