The repaired bridges are going to be of the same design/layout as the existing bridges. But the 2014 interchange replacement is likely to be a right-side exit design, as the DoT is implementing elsewhere on WI's I-system. So we'll either have to keep the exiting unsafe left-exit configuration or tear down two 4 year old bridges in 2014.<br /><br />I'm also surprised the request for bids didn't require a couple of roundabouts to be integrated in the exit bridges.Headless Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583756925286190136noreply@blogger.com
