It took well under an hour to address the area’s roads for years to come in Sturgeon Bay. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council awarded the concrete replacement project to Martell Construction for $139, 934.40 and the asphalt replacement contract to Northeast Asphalt for $722,053.64. Council members thanked City Engineer Chad Shefchik for getting the bids out early to get competitive pricing and potentially open the door for more projects. After completing work on almost three miles of roads last year, Shefchik says they have been working at a good pace.

The Sturgeon Bay Common Council also followed the recommendation of the Finance/Purchasing and Building Committee approved the city applying for the M-90 Transbay Service Project grant. Sturgeon Bay Mayor David Ward wrote in a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation says by turning its area waterways into a federal marine highway, not only does it help local companies like Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding but also creates opportunities to limit the wear and tear on the area's roadways.
