Additional maintenance will force drivers to find an alternate route through downtown Sturgeon Bay on Thursday. The Door County Highway Department announced Monday that the Maple/Oregon Street Bridge will be closed from 8 a.m. until noon to complete additional maintenance.
The bridge was previously closed during the day from October 20th through October 23rd, with the first day’s closure lasting longer than expected due to an issue with a part being replaced. Door County Highway Commissioner Thad Ash says crews will install new locking mechanism on the bridge during Thursday's bridge closure.
The bridge will remain open to marine traffic, but pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists will need to use the Bayview Bridge or the Michigan Street Bridge as a detour.
