The South Mail Road Bridge in Douglas County, Wis. is being replaced beginning this fall, with construction to be completed next year. The bridge is the first span of the river in the section below Gordon Dam, which is managed by the National Park Service.
As a result of the work, South Mail Road is closed for the duration of the project between Hill Road and Crotte Brook Road. The project is budgeted at $969,042.
The Mail Road Bridge closure is the second on the river in the coming year, with replacement of the Highway 243 bridge at Osceola scheduled to start in the new couple weeks.
The bridge is the near the site of the former Ken Scott Lodge, which is the subject of an article by James Olmsted also published on St. Croix 360 this week.
