5/8/26, WisBusiness – The Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin yesterday announced the launch of FixWIBridges.com. The announcement notes the small-scale infrastructure captured in the site, spanning 6 to 20 feet, aren’t included in federal or state tracking systems.
TDA Executive Director Debby Jackson says “we have long known” these structures were aging but notes you can’t fix what you can’t measure.
“This website takes years of data and puts it directly into the hands of the taxpayers and leaders,” she said in a statement. “It provides another reason why Wisconsin requires a clear roadmap to fund our most urgent needs and prioritize future investments.”
An inventory effort by state and local agencies funded with $12.5 million from the 2023-25 state budget found more than 1,600 of the small structures are in “poor or severe” condition. Some require “immediate” weight restrictions, lane limitations or closures while others may need to be replaced entirely in the near future, the TDA says.
Partners in the website project include the Wisconsin Towns Association, Wisconsin Counties Association, League of Wisconsin Municipalities, Wisconsin County Highway Association, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation and the TDA.
