Jay Road, called Seven Bridges Road

Wisconsin · United States · Road

A stretch of Wisconsin road through a swamp, closed each winter for flooding and ice, where a jogger was struck and her body was never recovered.

Part of Jay Road at Boltonville, Wisconsin runs through swamp. It is dark along that section whatever the weather, and it closes in the winter months because of flooding and ice.

The account behind the road's reputation concerns a woman out jogging early one morning. A drunk driver either failed to see her or could not stop in time. Anyone who drives the road will notice that there is no shoulder at all, which is the detail witnesses always mention. Her body was knocked into the swamp.

Whether the incident was ever reported to the police is still argued about locally. What is agreed is that her body was never recovered. We have not been able to confirm the case from any public record, so it is listed here as local account rather than established fact.

Drivers who have taken the Seven Bridges stretch since report a haze forming over the road. The absence of a recovered body is what keeps a road story like this alive, because there is nothing to close it with.
