East Elevation The Yahara River is a tributary of the Rock River that flows from a source in the north part of Dane County. It feeds the five lakes in the chain that surround Madison. The most famous of the lakes are Menona and Mendota, that are separated by the isthmus that holds the City of Madison. Lake Monona is the site of the plane crash that killed Otis Redding on December 10, 1967. Several vehicle, bicycle/pedestrian and railway bridges cross the Yahara River between Monona and Mendota.

South Approach Johnson Street runs parallel to Washtington Street along the isthmus, but while Washington Street leads directly to the capital, Johnson Street carries traffic away from the University of Wisconsin campus. About two blocks south of this bridge, Johnson Streen becomes one-way northeast while Gorham Street is one-way southwest. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in September 2008 |
