| Additional Information: | 2020 - The Oconomowoc River Bridge (B-67-952) was constructed in 1916. It is a standardized single-span reinforced concrete closed spandrel arch structure with a total length of 40 feet and deck width of 48.5 feet accommodating two driving lanes and paved shoulders. Along each side of the bridge are concrete parapet walls. On the east side of the bridge is a pedestrian bridge, obstructing views of the concrete arch. It could not be determined when the pedestrian crossing was constructed and it is currently closed due to its poor condition. |
