Ephraim Business Council Tourism Administrator Lane Methner says the village was still busy over the weekend despite construction that started last week. Part of the road construction includes a full closure of State Highway 42 from its public beach to near Hidden Spring Road to Harborside Park by Highway Q. Methner says business owners collaborated on a unique way for people to enhance their visit to Ephraim while still finding their shops and restaurants.
The hard closure of Highway 42 is expected to last until Memorial Day weekend with road construction continuing through June 28th. The Door County Sheriff’s Department reminds motorists traveling to Ephraim to stay off the road if they just driving through and it is against the law to be on a cell phone in a construction zone.
