Two new Mississippi River bridges at the Wisconsin border have received national awards for excellence. The American Segmental Bridge Institute has recognized the Interstate 90 span near La Crosse and the bridge at Winona, Minnesota that connects with Wisconsin Highway 54. Both were designed and built by the Minnesota D-O-T. The bridge institute, based in Buda, Texas, calls the I-90 structure “world class,” noting that its elements provide “aesthetically pleasing shapes and forms with the capacity to deliver a record setting concrete span” above a major waterway. The new Winona bridge on Minnesota 43 was said to have a “nice form and function with overlooks that blend with the environment” — and the old Winona bridge is being renovated to provide additional lanes.
