Weekly News Blast

This week I’m going to let someone else “do the talking”. The updates below are from Dillon Schmenk, Project Manager for SPS on the 95th and 100th Street bridges over Four Mile Creek. The construction meeting scheduled for Thursday had to be cancelled so he provided this summary. I’ve attached pictures taken by oversight engineer Jim Wendels of Quest Civil Engineers, LLC, and video from town treasurer Greg Hakala. All I can say is WOW!

95th Street

On Monday, Rent-A-Flash set up traffic control. Badger also cleared trees that conflicted with the project. Tuesday, SPS installed sheeting and began excavating on the south side of the culvert. Wednesday, Badger installed riprap along the south slope from the culvert up past the current water level. Thursday, SPS finished grading the north slope and Badger placed riprap from the culvert up past the current water level. The culvert was removed by the end of the week. Any remaining riprap will be placed in the stream, concluding the in-stream work on 95th.

   

   

100th Street

On Monday, Rent-A-Flash set up traffic control. Badger also cleared trees that conflicted with the project. Tuesday (9/3), SPS will begin the excavation and culvert removal like 95th. If all goes as scheduled, the culvert will be removed, and riprap installed by the end of the week (9/6). That will conclude the in-stream work for 100th.

Your summer newsletter should be arriving next week. There is an error however…the Wisconsin Rapids Post Office originally said they would not deliver mail to those on 95th & 100th Street between Lake and CTH FF insisting the county or town had to install a bank of 20+ mailboxes on Lake Road. But late this week they agreed to continue delivering except for just two residents. The newsletter had already gone to print so please excuse the error.

Enjoy what is slated to be lovely weather for the holiday weekend. Take a walk to see the bridge project in progress. It’s exciting to see the changes already!
