Frigo bridge work to commence

November 1, 2013 By WRN Contributor

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says work on repairing the sagging Leo Frigo Bridge will begin Friday. The bridge, which carries I-43 over the Fox River, has been closed to traffic since September 25th, when a dip was found in the roadway.

A DOT investigation found that one of the bridge’s piers – Pier 22 – had sunk about two feet due to corrosive soil surrounding it. Governor Scott Walker formally signed the bid approval to the Waukesha-based firm Zenith Tech. The firm submitted the low bid of around $7.7 million to repair the bridge.

Zenith Tech will have to install new cement supports around five piers. Their contract requires that the bridge must reopen by January 17.
