OMAHA, NE Union Pacific is boosting safety and efficiency with an approximately $2.5 million infrastructure investment in Wisconsin this year. Projects funded by Union Pacific benefit Wisconsin's overall transportation infrastructure without taxpayer funds.

Union Pacific's investment plan funds a range of initiatives: $265,000 to maintain railroad track and $2 million to maintain bridges in the state. 

Key projects planned this year include:

$721,000 investment to install a new bridge near Lowell, Wisconsin.
$500,000 investment to install a new bridge near the Village of Wilson, Wisconsin.

"Union Pacific's targeted investments fund projects that strengthen our railroad tracks, increase safety and minimize delays as trains travel through communities across Wisconsin," said Donna Kush, Union Pacific Vice President - Public Affairs, Northern Region. "Maintaining a healthy railroad is the foundation of our ability to serve customers and communities across the state."

This year's planned $2.5 million capital expenditure in Wisconsin is part of an ongoing investment strategy. From 2012 to 2016, Union Pacific invested more than $75 million strengthening Wisconsin's transportation infrastructure.

Union Pacific plans to spend $3.1 billion across its network this year. The company has invested $51 billion since 2000, contributing to a 40 percent decrease in derailments during the same time frame.
