County staff reported a Microsoft Teams coordination meeting with the Federal Highway Administration and regional partners that left the Milwaukee bridge project on track for summer 2026 construction. The update said the project had passed many environmental processes, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service attached mitigation requirements, and follow‑up coordination meetings are scheduled for February, April and June 2026.
Meeting notes say the team is "hoping to open bids in March and be done with the project by September 2026." The meeting included FHWA staff, regional economic development and county staff; the minutes record the schedule and next‑step meetings but do not include a public procurement bid package or dollar amount in the county minutes. County staff identified follow‑up meetings to continue design and procurement work through mid‑2026.
