The City of Milwaukee is planning to rehabilitate 72nd Street Bridge over Honey Creek for a total proposed project length of 33 feet. The rehabilitation will include:

• Concrete surface repair to the interior and exterior wingwalls and head walls.
• The existing bridge will be repaired and repainted.
• Approach fencing will be provided as necessary.

The project is scheduled for construction in 2025. The structure will be open to traffic during construction.

• Rehabilitate the existing structure
• Make travel safe and comfortable for all users by providing a solid surface across the deck

The bridge was originally constructed in 1954 and has since deteriorated to become structurally deficient. The main areas of deterioration for this structure are the interior of the culvert cells, and the exterior wing walls and headwalls.

The project is funded through the WisDOT Local Bridge Program and includes 100% federal funding.
