I was just by that bridge a few weeks ago. I was told that the missing span was removed because it was unstable. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=43.265363,-89.727659&spn=0,359.966547&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=43.265439,-89.727602&panoid=1KJGuy-tDjVd6nSX-t8Y8w&cbp=12,134.57,,0,25.44 |

The memory is a bit hazy but I remember reports that one of the piers had significant undercutting from the current and the bridge deck appeared to slope down river. A also seem to remeber that there were four or five different types of spans in the structure? Maybe some kind of record but not unsusal for the Milwaukee. |
