Despite the switch from summer to fall, it will still be construction season for your commute through Door County.

Despite the switch from summer to fall, it will still be construction season on your commute through Door County. This week, work on the Michigan Street Bridge was confirmed by Door County officials after Sturgeon Bay City Engineer Chad Shefchik released the closure plans the week before. The Michigan Street Bridge will be closed from October 2nd to October 5th to vehicles and pedestrians. Crews have to remove the concrete on both leaves of the bridge so repair work can be done on the structure’s counterweight. The bridge will be closed to marine traffic only on October 4th. The Door County Highway Department also announced two other projects on Thursday that will make road improvements to County Highway H from Stone Road to County Highway O beginning on October 2nd and to  County Highway S between County Highway OO and County Highway H beginning October 9th. Both projects will require the roadway to be closed during the workday and reopened at night. Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says they know they have a lot to get done before the seasons change again.

The County H project is expected to be finished by October 20th while the County S project could take until early November. Both projects will need the help of Mother Nature to be completed on time and your cooperation to help keep the construction crews safe. You can read more about the projects below.
