Post in Fw: Relocation of the interstate bridge

Jun 19 11:13 UTC

Joliene,

Not sure if you liked my idea or not. My idea would look like
the new bridge in La Crosse on the north end. The south end
would curve gently to the west (after passing over a straight
main span) and drop to street level onto Riverview Drive. Trucks
and cars from Wisconsin would continue straight west on
Riverview to obtain access to highways 14/61. Trucks and cars
coming from highways 14/61 and continuing into Wisconsin would
come from the west and enter straight onto the bridge (no turns
for trucks).

A secondary access for cars could be provided by turning on and
off the bridge access from Second Street. It works on paper and
meets the needs for shopper access to downtown and points east
(via the secondary route) and easy access for thru-traffic via
Riverview and Pelzer.
