This and two other bridges along WI Hwy. 130/133 are being given away. Deadline to obtain the packages by WIDOT is October 31st. Details here: https://bridgehunterschronicles.wordpress.com/2021/09/23/thr...
Adding insult to injury, it looks like the new bridges are going to be on a new alignment, which would make it feasible to leave the old ones for non-motorized traffic: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/projects/by-region/sw/wis130-...
Time as also caught up to these bridges as well. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is in the process of developing Design-Build documents for a proposed new Bridge structures replacements on WIS 130 over the all three Wisconsin River Channels South of Lone Rock.

Just learned of plans to do away with Hwy 130 truss bridges at Lone Rock. Assuume DOT has determined they are unsafe and irreparable. Is there a basis for challenging? If not, is it feasible to preserve the bridges in place for pedestrian and bicycle traffic? These historic structures imbue the river and landscape with tremendous character and charm. Inconceivable they will be relocated (unlikely)or demolished. Cherished by so many residents and tourists.
