ANTIGO - A county highway that
crossed the Wolf River near Antigo is getting lots of
attention, because there's no longer any bridge and the
plans for replacing the span have been stalled.
That's cut off the main
access to Antigo, forcing large trucks, school buses and
other vehicles to travel rural roads never designed for such
heavy use.
The bridge along Langlade
County Highway A was removed over the summer, and the
replacement project was scheduled to be done Sept. 15. But
that was before the project ran into trouble with rocks in
an area where critical footings were to be built.
Engineers and bridge
contractors joined state Department of Natural Resources
personnel at the bridge site Tuesday as they try to work out
a solution.
