Year Number Two of the work on the Bong Bridge commences Monday, April 13 as the eastbound or Superior-bound lanes close to traffic until November 2015.  When it's finished, the work will represent a total rebuild of the deck - something that has never occurred since the bridge first opened to traffic in 1984.  It will also see the new roundabout as a fully-functioning intersection.

Last summer work choked off the westbound lanes.  WISDOT also installed a roundabout at the base of the bridge on the Superior side.  That roundabout was tied into the westbound lanes but left the eastbound lanes ending at their old location.
