Watertown, Wis. (June 1, 2026) – The Division Street Bridge will close temporarily starting Monday, June 8th for repairs. The repair work involves removing the existing east approach slab, backfilling a large void underneath the slab, and constructing a new approach slab. This work will be completed by the City of Watertown Street Division and is anticipated to take two weeks. A detour will be in effect for the area during construction. See the attached map for details.
While this repair is underway and the bridge is closed, additional rehabilitation work will occur on the rest of the bridge. This will include concrete spall repair, crack sealing, and concrete deck sealing. These routine maintenance items serve to extend the life of the bridge.
Please exercise caution near the work area and use alternate routes where possible. During the closure, traffic is expected to increase along N Fourth Street and Labaree Street. Please obey all posted signs, watch for pedestrians, and adhere to detour routes where practicable.
