Two-state study underway over Lansing bridge

October 28, 2002 By admin

Transportation officials in Iowa and Wisconsin are reviewing options that’ll decide whether the “Black Hawk Bridge” over the Mississippi at Lansing gets renovated or replaced. Rod Larsen of the Iowa D-O-T says the steel truss bridge is over 16-hundred-feet long, and quite unique. The bridge was built privately in 1931 and the owners charged a toll. The two states bought the bridge a few years later. Larsen says the bridge is an important crossing-point. The closest river bridge is 30 miles away, and Larsen says the bridge has a “profound impact” on the skyline of Lansing. Over the next two weeks, D-O-T officials will visit with those who own land near the bridge. A local steering committee is being consulted. The group held its first meeting October 21st. A recommendation is probably two years away.
