The high power transmission lines being bored underneath the Sturgeon Bay channel will impact travel in the city. Starting Tuesday the main intersection of East Maple Street and S. Neenah Avenue will be closed until Thursday. Sturgeon Bay City Engineer Chad Shefchik says the project by American Transmission Company will impact travel over the Maple-to-Oregon Street Bridge.
He says when all the work is done, repairs will have to be done to Neenah Avenue.
Shefchik says that ATC’s major work should be completed by late Wednesday with roadways reopening on Thursday.
