Scope and Limits of Construction Work

Located in Milwaukee County the Airport Spur Freeway STH 119 project rehabilitated 10 freeway bridges to the west of General Mitchell International Airport.

Eight of the ten bridges were reconstructed in 2012 and received a polymer deck overlay. The two bridges STH 119 EB and WB over Howell Avenue STH 38 were constructed in 1978 and have received a deck repair, concrete overlay, bearing replacements, expansion joint replacements, and other miscellaneous repairs. New pavement markings were applied for the entire 1.25-mile project length. Construction was staged with one lane of traffic on STH 119 open in each direction during construction.

This project was completed in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration. The project included preparation of environmental documentation, Design Study Report (DSR), extensive airport and agency coordination, public involvement process, TRANS 220 utility coordination, construction staging and traffic control design and plans, transportation management plan (TMP), preliminary and final roadway and bridge plans and PS&E documents.
