Lakeside Park bridge to be replaced

The City of Fond du Lac Department of Public Works would like to share with public the upcoming improvements planned for the Lakeside Park Pedestrian Bridge Replacement – Oven to Fountain Island.

Construction includes removal of the existing wood bridge structure, pouring new concrete abutments and setting a new steel truss bridge. Site grading, restoration and asphalt pedestrian path will be replaced. Beginning the week of September 16th, crews will mobilize to the site, setup the crane and begin removing the old structure. Barges will be utilized to allow the crane to reach Fountain Island from Oven Island. This work will restrict access through the lagoon channel to Lake Winnebago.

The boat launch off E. Harbor View Dr. will be closed for boats to access Lake Winnebago from Sep. 16th through Nov. 2024. Boaters should use the Marina boat launch off of Mohawk Ave. or Lakeside West boat launch off of Howard Litscher Dr.
