Letter

Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“The bridge’s closure impacts thousands of Wisconsinites and Iowans, with an estimated 2,200 vehicles previously crossing the bridge daily, and there are limited other options for crossing the river. Those in the community will now be required to travel miles south to the bridge connecting Marquette, Iowa with Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin or north for the bridge connecting La Crosse, Wisconsin and La Crescent, Minnesota.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

We strongly support the efforts to get the existing bridge reopened and request that FHWA continue to work with the Iowa and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation to restore traffic on this bridge as soon as possible,”
