The Riverwalk and Wildlife Viewing Pier provides pedestrian access to the historic De Pere Lock, Tender House and Government Island and is intended to boost tourist interest by providing a place to view local fish and migratory birds.
Team members undertook the project in two phases: the first involved installation of a hydraulic European-style lift bridge, concrete walks and an elevated steel boardwalk; the second added a pair of viewing piers constructed of concrete girders.
