While the construction has made travel a little more..... interesting 😉... the good news is the road (Highway 18) between Prairie du Chien and Marquette, IA remains open! Unfortunately, Google Maps did not get the memo. So we wanted to let as many people as possible know that you can still easily access all the wonderful attractions and businesses on both sides of the river. Just be sure to follow the detour signs and truck routes in Prairie du Chien. And as always - drive safely!!
