Bridges

Let our WisDOT LRFD certified bridge engineer assist you with your next bridge project. If you are rehabilitating your bridge to increase its useful life or replacing it to increase safety, we can help evaluate the best solution to meet your expectations.   

The Thoroughfare Road Bridge spans the channel between Mid Lake and Lake Tomahawk in the Town of Minocqua. The existing bridge was replaced with one designed to blend with the natural aesthetics of the Northwoods. To fulfill this goal the Becher Hoppe team and the Town of Minocqua selected a concrete structure with formliner treatment and timber railings. These cost-effective materials exceeded the communities visual design expectations.  

To better accommodate seasonal boat traffic through the Minocqua Chain of Lakes, the bottom of the bridge deck was constructed four feet higher than the old bridge. The extra clearance eliminated the need to lower canopies on pontoon boats before passing beneath the bridge.
