Your days of visiting West Jacksonport for more than just family visits and Ports baseball games are over for now after the Wisconsin Department of Transportation completed its bridge work near Logan Creek.

State Highway 57 over Logan Creek opened for the first time on Friday after being closed for a at-grade slab span bridge replacement since May 5th. The project is part of a larger effort along State Highway 57 to replace deteriorating culvert pipes. The DOT has already finished drainage structure replacement at Lily Bay Creek and Geisel Creek, but it has one more spot to focus on before the year is out. Culvert pipes at Hibbard Creek in Jacksonport will also be replaced with a new slab span bridge, though work for that project will not start until after Labor Day. At that time, highway traffic will be detoured using County V, County A, and County E until the project is completed in November.
