Abstract:
Resolutions and reports from the Committee on Bridges to the Common Council, 1857-1932. The materials are arranged by bridge location; therein, chronologically. There isn’t any further indexing to this collection at this time other than what the City Clerk has on index cards. The reports are mostly requests for new or improvements to existing bridges.

Bridges best represented in this series are the main and west channel bridges across the Mississippi River, including the ice or winter bridge, and the road (Highwater Road) from the west end of the wagon bridge to La Crescent, MN, 1888-1932. Other bridge areas that have some substance in this series are La Crosse River (n.d.; 1859-1922), Isle la Plume (1857-1931), Pettibone Park (1880-1917), Black River (1891-1926), and the Causeway [Plank Road], (1867-1919).
