Wausau Pilot & Review
Work to replace damaged bridge girders on the Marathon County Hwy. U bridge over Hwy. 51 in Wausau is scheduled for 2022.
Repairs are necessary after the structure was struck by an over-height vehicle.
Motorists will encounter a single, right lane closure in the Hwy. U eastbound lane over Hwy. 51 through winter.
“WisDOT has completed several bridge inspections and installed a lane closure to minimize the burden on the damaged girders until repairs can be made,” said Shannon Riley, North Central Region Operations Chief.
Work will involve removal and replacement of a portion of the bridge deck and damaged girders.
