The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is indirectly helping Door County residents with its social distancing efforts this week with a pair of bridge closures. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the Bayview Bridge in Sturgeon Bay will be closed completely to motorists from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. before the Maple/Oregon Street Bridge gets the same treatment on Thursday. Mark Kantola from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the inspections and maintenance is routine this time of year.
Kantola says there will be signage for a detour route all three days and the bridges will still be open for marine traffic.
