Project Overview

Overview

The aging Water Street Bridge in the city of Eau Claire is currently being replaced. The overall project includes replacing the structure with a new bridge that will be slightly wider to accommodate both bicycles and pedestrians. Additional improvements include:

  • Taller railings
  • Raised sidewalks for pedestrians
  • Six foot on-street bike lanes in each direction
  • Decorative lighting matching Thorp Drive
  • A light for the bike/pedestrian trail under the bridge
  • Scenic overlooks on the northeast and southwest quadrants
  • Adding a right turn lane onto 1st Avenue
