Though it may be tempting to explore, the WSOR let's all know it is best to stay off this abandoned bridge in Sauk City. The bridge was abandoned in 2002 after a pier failed and the northern truss span started to shift. The Wisconsin and Southern has maintained its hold on the bridge as insurance in case of a problem with its crossing of the river at Merrimac. By summer of 2017, the bridge had been approved to become a section of the Great Sauk Trail, but it was found that another pier is failing. The bridge is planned to be removed completely because of this further instability. |
