STH-131 Photos: Rockton-Ontario, 1999/2005

The following are photographs taken from WisDOT photologs from 1999, prior to the reconstruction of STH-131 between Rockton and Ontario, and 2005, showing the results of that work. There are five images from two locations. The first and second pairs show before and after shots from roughly the same locations, while the final image is a close-up of the bridge structure from the fourth image.
