Barrel Shot Looking Southwest
Green Lake is the deepest lake in Wisconsin. The Puchyan River was damed in 1845, raising the level of the lake and creating a bay. This bridge crosses between the bay and the lake, and carries the road that used to be Wisconsin Highway 23. Today, it is Business 23.

Historical Maker
Green Lake is the deepest lake in Wisconsin, but in 1845, a dam was built across the Puchyan River by Anson Dart, raising the level of the lake and creating the bay you see behind the marker. The subject bridge crosses the river just below the dam.

East Parapet Wall
The parapet wall is of neoclassical design (that means it has urns for balustrades) as do the other two Puchyan River bridges in Green Lake. The concrete urn balustrades were once quite common on Wisconsin bridges but the troublesome urns are seldom replaced today. The urn balustrades exist mostly on untouched bridges, such as the three Puchyan River bridges in Green Lake.

The poured-in-place concrete parapet walls were a standard item for bridges of this type, from short spans, like this one, to longer spans, such as the Lighthouse Drive Bridge in Washington County. The poured concrete parapet walls are disappearing.

The wood railings are a recent addition, after the bridge was reused as a link on a snowmobile / mountain bike trail. Notice that the upper chords have open latticework top and bottom. More commonly, the top is a solid plate rather than latticework.
