Bridge work returns to STH 57 on Tuesday
After not having to worry about detours on State Highway 57 due to bridge work over the summer, they return on Tuesday. Crews will begin replacing the bridge structure over Hibbard Creek near Baileys Harbor after the Labor Day holiday, forcing motorists on a detour route that will follow County V, County A, and County E during construction. No vehicles will be allowed to cross during the project, which is expected to last into November. The good news for the motorists is that this is the last of the four bridges to be replaced as part of the multi-year project. The project began in 2024 with the completion of two structure replacements at Lily Bay Creek and Geisel Creek in the town of Sevastopol. It continued this spring when the existing culvert pipes at Logan Creek were replaced with a new at-grade slab span bridge, which will be installed at Hibbard Creek.
