US 63, Beaver Dam Lake

Barron County

Project Overview

Construction includes:

  • Removing the existing box culvert carrying Beaver Dam Lake under US 63
  • Building a bridge with a longer span to replace the box culvert
    • The profile of US 63 will be raised slightly at the bridge location.
  • Removing the Lake Street Bridge
    • This structure won’t be replaced. At the conclusion of construction, Lake Street will no longer be a through street.
  • Dredging Beaver Dam Lake under US 63 and the Lake Street Bridge
    • The dredging and the placement of a longer bridge will allow greater vertical and horizontal clearance in the channel that connects the north and south basins of Beaver Dam Lake, which will allow enhanced recreational boat traffic.
  • Building an ATV trail on the east side of US 63 from Arcade Avenue to Nedvidek Street
    • The new bridge will include a 10-foot lane for ATVs.
  • Reconstructing US 63 on both sides of the new bridge
  • Reconstructing portions of Lake Street, Nedvidek Street and Babcock Avenue to match the raised profile of US 63
  • Constructing curb, gutter and sidewalk
