The West Portal There seems to be some confusion about the name of the road here. The camera seems to be on Plank Road, paying homage to when this was the Watertown Plank Road, a wooden paved toll road that went from Milwaukee to Watertown. The addresses of the businesses to the east, including the car dealer and The Kiltie drive-in, are on Wisconsin Avenue. Some maps show the name of the road, west of the bridge as Plank Road, as Wisconsin Avenue east of the bridge, then Plank Road east of The Kiltie. Anyone know the story? Photo taken by J.R.

The Deck and North Railing The concrete railing is typical of bridge design of the 1930's and 1950's of bridges built to Wisconsin State Highway Commission specifications. Note the prestressed concrete stringer to the left, that carries modern STH 16 across the Oconomowoc River. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in August 2008 |

The Pedestrian Walkway Well, it was anyway, until it was obscured to hold buttresses to mount the modern steel guard railings. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in August 2008 |
