Town Bridge Aid

Cost Share for Bridge/Culvert Aid

Wisconsin State Statute 82.07 provides for county aid to construct or repair town culverts and bridges.  The County Board, by resolution, restricts such County Aid to structures equivalent to 48 inches or larger (i.e. 2 - 24” side by side).  Listed below is the petition process for submitting a request for Bridge/Culvert aid to the Lincoln County Highway Department.

Petition Process

By May 1, 2019, Municipalities must provide a petition and include a copy of their board minutes approving the replacement of such bridge/culvert. The Lincoln County Highway Committee will approve the final project list during the July Committee meeting.  Municipalities are encouraged to submit their petition letters as early as possible to allow the Lincoln County Highway Department adequate time to review and complete any work that may be required.  Any late applications will be included in the next reimbursement cycle.

If you have any questions, please call 715-539-2500.
