Longest bike bridge in Wisconsin coming to Dane County in 2017

Jan 29, 2016

 

In an area of tens of thousands of bicyclists, it's only natural that the longest bicycle bridge ever built in Wisconsin is coming to Dane County.

 

The Lower Yahara River Trail, eventually connecting Lake Farm County Park to Stoughton, will include over a mile of bridges and boardwalk, starting on the north shore of Lake Waubesa to McDaniel Park in McFarland.

 

Dane County officials announced today that a $5.9 million contract has been awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to Janke General Contractors, Athens, to begin construction of the 2.5 mile first phase of the project, which includes the bridges and boardwalk.
