  Description of Project: This $950,000 will be used for phase 2 of the 
3-phase reconstruction of the primary runway at Wittman Regional 
Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This is one of the largest projects in the

  Description of Project: This $500,000 will be used to complete a 
study and begin construction of an overpass across the Wisconsin 
Central Railyard on Lake Shore Drive in the Village of North Fond du 
Lac, Wisconsin. The railyard is the largest of its kind in the State of 
Wisconsin and access at Lake Shore Drive is frequently blocked due to 
trains parked on the tracks. This overpass will allow for the safe and 
efficient passage of rail traffic through the community and allow for 
the delivery of essential services (including emergency services) to 
the residents of the community. The overpass will consist of a 532-foot 
bridge span across the yard and access ramps to the connecting roads on 
both sides of the structure.
