South 35th Street bridge rehabilitation project underway

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A major construction project is now underway along S. 35th Street in Milwaukee. 

Crews are doing bridge repairs over the KK River between Kinnickinnic Parkway and Manitoba Street. 

The work is expected to last until November and will have four stages:

• Stage 1: Beginning April 1, the east side of the bridge will be closed for construction. Motorists will travel on the west side of the street, with one lane of traffic moving in each direction. Pedestrian access will be maintained on the west side of the bridge.
• Stage 2: The entire bridge will be closed, for approximately seven calendar days, to allow for the pouring and curing of the concrete deck on the east side. Pedestrian access will be maintained from Stage 1.
• Stage 3: The west side of the bridge will be closed for construction. Motorists will travel on the east side of the street, with one lane of traffic moving in each direction. Pedestrian access will be maintained on the east side of the bridge.
• Stage 4: The entire bridge will be closed, for approximately seven calendar days, to allow for the pouring and curing of the concrete deck on the west side. Pedestrian access will be maintained from Stage 3.

Bus Route #35: Detours and possible delays during both 7-day closures of the bridge for stages 2 and 4, though all regular stops will continue to be serviced. Stages 1 and 3 will maintain regular route and schedule.

Parking: On-street parking will not be allowed during construction.
