W.Wisconsin Avenue Bridge
Description
The new bridge is higher over the water than the old bridge was, and the creek has been widened as well. The cement trough has been removed from a short way upstream and downstream, and the bed and banks have been lined with rock. At boatable flows, I suspect most/all rocks in the riverbed should be covered and passage should be unhindered.
NOTE: As of 2025.12.16, a huge tree lies in creek as it re-enters cement ditch. River-right is the rootball, which won't be passable to river-right. River-left the tree trunk angles up to the high left bank, and should be 'duckable' at far left at most boatable flows.
A second tree spans the cement ditch just downstream, but is horizontal, far enough overhead as to be no problem at any reasonable flow.
STOP AND TAKE A CLOSE LOOK HERE AS YOU RUN SHUTTLE! Additional wood may hang up and block safe passage!
