With these considerations, CM/GC was chosen as the project delivery method to help mitigate schedule risks and improve constructability. The CM/GC With Fond du Lac Reservation residents needing process allowed valuable input from the contractor on availability of materials, especialy considering the significant this route restored as soon as possible, the Federal demand due to repairs underway following the floods, and on locally viable construction methods.

The washed out which saved time and money in reporing and doverd was replaced with a single span, pre-stressed, reinforced concrete girder bridge, which satisfied hydrologic building a new bridge on this vital road, and hydraulic design standards while accommodating fish passage.
