Madison, WI wins $15.1 million US DOT grant to rebuild John Nolan Causeway

Written By Karl Kalbacher

The US Department of Transportation (US DOT) announced today that the City of Madison, WI has won a $15.1 million competitive grant from the Bridge Investment Program (BIP) to support the replacement of six off-system bridges that are in poor condition along the John Nolen Drive Causeway.

John Nolen Drive is an iconic gateway to and from downtown Madison. The Causeway is used daily by 45,000 vehicles and about 4,000 bikes.

The reconstruction project will create better vehicular access to downtown Madison and improve bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. The BIP grant will also improve transportation safety, reduce greenhouse gas emissions through travel mode shifts, support downtown economic development, and benefit minority/low-income residents in the southern portion of the community.

The total project cost is $30.2 million.

Kalbacher Associates (KA) was pleased to prepare the Benefit Cost Analysis for this project and assist in writing the grant application. Since 2018, KA has won 11 US DOT infrastructure grants for clients totaling $155,767,794.
