Remy Road Bridge resurfacing project
The Remy Road bridge will be resurfaced this spring. Currently the anticipated start date is March 29, 2021 with completion anticipated to be completed by May 21, 2021. The bridge will be re-decked, and will receive a new railing.
This is a project being undertaken jointly by the Village of Belleville and the Town of Montrose. The Town has secured 70% funding from the State of Wisconsin under a Municipal State Agreement (MSA), which will help to offset the cost to the two municipalities. The Village was instrumental in helping the Town obtain the funding.
