RACINE, WI — A rare and endangered snake population was found near a proposed bridge replacement project in Racine, state officials said.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation wants to replace the existing historic structure at the West 6th Street Bridge in Racine, and upgrade the road that approaches on either side to match the new structure.
Officials say the DOT project may result in the "incidental taking" of a rare snake under an authorization the Department of Natural Resources proposes to issue for the project.
The presence of the state endangered Queensnake has been confirmed in the vicinity of the project site, DNR staff said. DNR staff also determined that the proposed project may result in the incidental taking of some snakes, according to a news release.
