State Road repair project could get approval from La Crosse council this week
A busy road on the east side of La Crosse is due for repairs, and the city council may approve the renovation project at its monthly meeting on Thursday.
The DOT is planning to fix pavement on State Road, east of Losey Boulevard, and repair the railroad bridge on that road. The actual work may not happen until 2032, but the council will be asked to include State Road in the capital improvement plan for the next five years.
The financial impact on the city budget could be just over $800,000.
A report on the project says the pavement on State Road is deteriorating, and cracks have developed in the bridge over the railroad, near the Village shopping center. Under the current plan, the four travel lanes would be reduced to two traffic lanes, along with a left-turn lane and bike lanes.

Leave it to the planners to change a busy 4 lane road into a 2 lane road and adding a bike lane for all the bikes that aren’t there. Virtue signaling isn’t dead yet.

I agree 💯, just like that unnecessary, expensive, wide bike lane downtown on 2nd street by the park to City Brewery that no one uses. What is wrong with the city administrators.

Woukd be nice ti have a right turn arrow for turning right from 157 onto 16. Traafic merging can be dicey at times, alot of folks turn into the shopping center where Planet Fitness is to get a better chance. Or enter the mall by JC Penny and turn around.
That corner has seen enough accidents!
