Work on the new Military Ridge Trail/Cannonball Bike Path bridge over Highway PD (McKee Road) in Fitchburg was held up due to a dispute between adjacent landowners over location of the south approach. Based on a decision by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Fitchburg Planning Commission recently approved a conditional use permit for the project, but that generated a threat of an appeal that would have further delayed the project. That threat has now vanished. Barring another unexpected development, Fitchburg Mayor Shawn Pfaff says the city now hopes the south end of the path can be completed by September 22 and the north end by October 20. Looks like we'll get to ride it this year after all.
