As the Wisconsin Department of Transportation plans its bridge inspections, you must plan your commutes through Sturgeon Bay accordingly over the next three weeks. Bridge inspectors will first look at the Bayview Bridge from April 14th through April 17th. The bridge will be fully closed between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on April 14th and 15th and will rely on flagging operations on April 16th and 17th between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Inspectors will be back in town over a week later to look at the Maple/Oregon Bridge on April 29th before moving to the Michigan Street Bridge on April 30th and May 1st. The bridge will be full closed all three days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. For the Maple/Oregon Bridge, WisDOT's Jim McDowell says it will use drones to perform some aspects of their inspection.
Marine traffic will be allowed under all three bridges during the inspections.
