11:00 a.m., November 30, 1975 saw the opening of the Roland Kampo Bridge which linked US 41 to Menasha across Little Lake Butte des Morts. Otherwise known locally as "The Polish Connection," it was the first link in what became known as the Tri-County Expressway. Originally designated as County Trunk Q, in the mid 1980's, it was redesignated as part of State Hwy 441 with the further development of the expressway project.

When was the bridge first started to be built
ReplyDeleteOriginally from Neenah, Left in '73. I was telling friends about the "polish connection." Did a search on "polish connection" and this came up. Nice!
