If you are driving along the quiet side of Door County on Monday, make sure you plan for a detour. The first of two bridge closures this year along State Highway 57 begins Monday at Logan Creek. The existing culvert pipes at Logan Creek will be replaced with a new at-grade span bridge.  Similar work will be done at Hibbard Creek later this year. Paul Brauer from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation says replacing the culverts with the at-grade span bridges is not just for the motorist driving up top, but for the wildlife that may travel below it.

State Highway 57 will be closed at Logan Creek so the replacement can occur, though local, business, and emergency access during the construction will still be maintained. Motorists must rely on County T and County V as detour routes until the project ends in July.
