2001 Work on the Sixth Street bridge in Mount Horeb is expected to begin Monday, April 30th according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. This bridge spans Military Ridge Trail between Lincoln Street and Main Street in Dane County. Sixth Street will remain closed to traffic during the construction. The village will not mark or maintain a detour route.
Alternative routes are available.
Pedestrians and bikers should use caution around the construction zone. Construction will involve grading bridge approaches and replacing the existing structure with a wider bridge. A new sidewalk, curb, gutter, and storm sewer will also be added. This project will increase visibility and safety of the current bridge. Patricia Murphy has been named as the DOT's project engineer.
