Got bored after work today, went to check out work on the Highway 12 bypass near Baraboo.
“Road Closed”. Well, you don’t say.
I think I’m going to have to back up more for this jump. And get Dixie horns.
Made it to the other side! This’ll be a lot easier with the bridge.
Ah, here’s a bridge now!
... and it’s not being put to good use at all.
Nope.
Tempting to hoon around and drift the Bonnie around on all the dirt and gravel. But doing so would be irresponsible, so I’m not going to tell you that I did that.
Naturally, because modern WisDOT construction, it has roundabouts at the bottom of the ramps.
Scenic West Baraboo, and the roof of the bankrupt Sears/K-Mart.
Bonus cropduster for your time.

Oh cool, a 90’s Bonneville. My Mom had one those when I was in high school, I really liked that car. If I needed a cheap DD one of those would be very high on my list.

Yep. My DD is a ‘98 Bonneville SE (naturally-aspirated with the bench seat and no traction control).

Nice, my Mom’s was a white SSEI, all the torque steers. I think it was a 94 but I might be wrong.

Built in 2010? That’s a helluva project!
I’m reconsidering my dreams of living in the land of Cheese and Venison.
Hell.. Not really.
It’s still not Chiraq.

The WIS-12 bypass is running from Wisconsin Dells to the west side of Madison, replacing a 2-lane county highway that got upgraded to a state highway. The section between the Dells and Baraboo was done in 2009-10. This bridge is about 3/4 a mile down the grade from where the completed section ends. They ran out of funding after the first section was completed.
They’re back working on it now, and it should be done by 2017.
Fun fact: Up until last summer, this bridge ended at a field instead of a dirt-graded road base.
