ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) – Officials with the Brown County Highway Department says part of Webster Avenue will close down later this month for construction.
Crews will be rebuilding the Webster Avenue bridge over the railroad tracks between Hastings Street and Kalb Avenue.
Built in 1952, it was a 128-foot-long steel girder bridge. New plans call for a 98-foot-long concrete girder bridge to be built in its place.
Brown County will cover $445,000 of the project, while the state of Wisconsin will pay the remaining $1.255 million.
Webster Avenue will be closed starting July 18. Traffic will be detoured to Allouez Avenue, Riverside Drive and Mason Street, although access to businesses will be maintained.
The project is scheduled to be complete at the end of October.
