Bridge Road Reconstruction - 2019
Update – November 22, 2019
Bridge Road Reconstruction started the week of July 8 of this year, with plans for a complete street reconstruction from Winnequah Road to Broadway. The project is nearly complete, with final completion of the project scheduled for the spring of 2020. The road is now open to traffic in both directions.
Due to the early onset of winter (snow began falling the last week of October), plans were made to install temporary asphalt to get us through winter. Temporary pavement was put down on November 16, and will remain in place until the spring of 2020. There are several areas of the street where the temporary pavement is soft and covered with metal plates. The plates will be removed once the frost is in the ground and the roadbed freezes for the winter. The metal plates will be placed in the same areas again in the spring once the frost in the ground moves out. Prior to placing the final layer of asphalt in the spring, there are several locations where the road bed will need to be repaired.
In addition to the temporary pavement, crews installed temporary pavement markings. The markings you see today are not the final markings. Once the permanent layer of asphalt is placed next spring, all pavement markings, (center line striping, crosswalks and bike lanes) will be painted. Even though the temporary pavement and temporary pavement markings have been installed, this area is still considered a construction zone. Care should be taken by pedestrians, bikers, and automobiles as they travel through this area.
Homburg Contractors are continuing to work in the project area as the weather allows. In addition to monitoring and maintaining the temporary asphalt, work items remaining this year include installation of sidewalk and ramps in various locations, street lighting, topsoil, and bridge rail installation. Some of this work will be completed in the spring of 2020, depending on the weather the next few weeks.
Final pavement and pavement markings were originally scheduled to be completed this year, and the project was running on schedule until the unseasonably cold and snowy weather began. However, we’re confident that the final product next spring will be worth the wait. With new infrastructure and utilities under the road, sidewalks, bike lanes, and a new bridge deck, Bridge Road will be a better, safer and more pleasing road for all users – cars, bikes, and pedestrians. We thank our residents for their patience during this construction process and look forwarding to the official project completion next spring.

Riverfront Redevelopment Street and Park Construction - 2019
Metropolitan Ln. is being reconstructed to better serve the new Riverfront Redevelopment properties and is being renamed Inland Way. Inland Way, formerly Metropolitan Ln. now connects Bridge Road to Broadway Avenue. Another additional street named Yahara Lane helps with overflow public parking in the new development, which includes 49 typical parking stalls and 4 handicapped accessible stalls. The project will include installation of permeable pavement to assist in capturing runoff from major storm events and treatment of stormwater. The permeable pavement and pavers will be installed upon completion of the final phase of the development. A new park, Grand Crossing Park, is also being constructed in the redevelopment that will include a skating rink, a stage area, seats and tables, a fireplace, and river access via river steps and public pier. This project is slated for completion in early October and the park will have its grand opening on Sunday, October 6th.

The City of Monona has plans to replace the Winnequah Road bridge to Pirate Island in 2020. The current bridge was constructed in 1960, and has a sufficiency rating of 8.6 out of 100. Reconstruction plans call for the complete replacement of the bridge. One lane will be open to residents during the construction. During construction, the water main currently hanging from the bridge will be placed under ground, just to the west of the bridge. Bridge design is being completed by MSA, led by Gregg Borucki.A public information meeting was held on Thursday, August 22nd at the Monona Public Library. The presentation shared at that meeting is linked below. View a presentation on reconstruction plans
