The third time is the charm for Maple-Oregon Bridge work, but a hex for Sturgeon Bay commuters. Starting Monday, June 1st, the span will be closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic until June 12th. The first phase was found to be unnecessary in April after an inspection. What was supposed to be the second phase of the project was pushed back due to stubbornly cold temperatures that would have kept the polymer overlay applied during the work from setting. Project Manager Jeremy Ashauer says working on the lift portion takes some time.

Motorists will be detoured to the Michigan Street Bridge and Bayview Bridge to traverse the canal. The work will also affect maritime traffic. Large vessels will not be able to cross under the bridge from June 1st to Friday the 5th.
