Stream relocation project in Germantown, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) is relocating an existing stream, which currently runs in a straight

 

roadside channel along Donges Bay Road just east of Fond Du Lac Avenue (STH 145). Latitude, longitude is 43.2062, -88.082. The road is being widened as part of an

 

intersection reconstruction. The DOT is shifting the channel away from the road and reconstructing it into a meandering channel with rock/riffle material and native

 

plantings in the riparian zone.

Photo from October 17, 2015. The channel was constructed in summer 2015. Currently, the new channel is "dry" and disconnected from the existing stream at its upstream end;

 

the existing stream will be rerouted into the new channel in 2016.

Plans and specs for this project are available online from the Wisconsin DOT bidding website. It is State project 2475-00-72. It was Project 16 from the March 10, 2015 bid

 

letting. I've included a couple snapshots from the plan set.
