The I-39/90/94 bridges over the Wisconsin River were constructed in 1961 and are nearing the end of their operational life. The bridges need to be rehabilitated or replaced. This project will evaluate options and identify the preferred solution for addressing the structural needs of the bridges to allow the Interstate to continue to serve existing and future traffic demands. The project will also include review of approximately 1.6 miles of the adjacent Interstate north of the bridge and approximately 1.9 miles of Interstate immediately south of the bridge.
WisDOT will hold a public hearing for the I-39/90/94 Wisconsin River bridge study. There will be two opportunities to attend the public hearing:​

1. Virtually via YouTube​ Live (link https://youtu.be/Lr7QFcC7SjE) on Tuesday, March 30 at 6 p.m.
2. In-person at the Poynette Village Hall (106 S. Main Street, Poynette) on Wednesday, March 31 from 5-8 p.m.

In consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is encouraged that the public participate in the process through the virtual public hearing component to the extent possible. Both opportunities will allow for recording of public and private testimony. If interested parties do not have internet access, they may call 888-557-8511, followed by access code 6969016# to listen to the virtual public hearing component. A recording of the virtual public hearing component will be available on the project website shortly after the hearing.
