Motorists traveling through downtown Sturgeon Bay on Thursday will have to adjust their travel plans. The Michigan Street Bridge is scheduled to be closed to motorists and pedestrians in order to do its annual spring maintenance, which includes cleaning the machinery spaces, grates, and deck while also doing an inspection. Mark Kantola from the Wisconsin DOT says the inspection for a bridge like Michigan Street’s is very thorough.
The Michigan Street Bridge will be closed from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the Maple-Oregon Street Bridge will remain open for crosstown traffic after having its work delayed at least one week due to cold temperatures.
