Iowa 9 / WIS 82 Mississippi River Bridge Center Span Installation Moved to Friday
Making the connection of the new Mississippi River bridge being constructed between Lansing, Iowa and Wisconsin, has been delayed by Mother Nature. The Iowa and Wisconsin DOTs have announced that the center span of the new Iowa 9 / WIS 82 Mississippi River Bridge will now be installed on Friday (06.12); pushing it back from Thursday (06.11) due to weather concerns. Crews will also need to close the free car ferry and restrict other traffic on the Mississippi, so the pre-assembled center span section can be floated down the river and connected into place.

La Crosse city committee favors unlimited pedi-cab hours, and endorses Copper Rocks plan for K-Mart lot
The city of La Crosse is one step closer to lifting time restrictions on when a pedi-cab can operate. Under an ordinance change approved by the judiciary committee Tuesday night, a bicycle-style cab would not be limited to the hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. That proposal will go to the full city council for a vote later this month. The hour change would have no effect on the bigger pedal-cars, such as the pub trolley, that operate downtown.

Transportation needs for La Crosse area are spolighted at local roundtable
Reliable and affordable transportation were a main focus of a Monday meeting in La Crosse about transportation needs, held at the Radisson. The state’s Transportation Development Association says highway and transit projects could use more state funding. TDA director Debby Jackson says a lack of money prevents the state from funding innovative transportation projects. In many cases, “the resources are not adequate for the community’s needs,” says Jackson. Those needs could vary, she says, from a state highway “that’s in bad shape,” or a highway expansion that’s limiting economic growth.
