Stretch of Wood County U relocated as long-gestating Bridgewater project advances in Biron

A new stretch of highway opens Friday in Biron, signaling one of the first marks of progress on the Bridgewater development along the Wisconsin River.

The opening of the new portion of Wood County U was originally scheduled for July 29, but storms that blew through the area on July 20 delayed the opening to Aug. 2, said Mike Helmrick from Classic Development Corp., one of the leaders on the Bridgewater project.

The stretch of Wood County U that runs between Huffman Road and 80th Street — where the county highway takes a turn south — will curve away from the river, according to documents. This leaves more room on a mile-long stretch of river for new developments.
