The City of Algoma is working on the infrastructure approaches to the 2nd Street Bridge in Algoma this week as demolition and rebuild of the bridge will start in July. Public Works Director Matt Murphy says Pfeiffer Brothers Construction from Neenah is the contractor for the bridge work which will close the stretch from Navarino Street to North Water Street for about four months.

Murphy says detours will be posted to take the Fourth Street Bridge and Highway 42 to the Door County line.  He adds that the second phase of the project will begin the third week of August.  Stormwater and wastewater relays are planned with newly installed street lights and sidewalks from Navarino Street south to the Steele Street intersection.
