Your commute on State Highway 57 between Sturgeon Bay and Sister Bay is now officially uninterrupted after the Wisconsin Department of Transportation announced the reopening of the bridge over Hibbard Creek. Work to replace the old culvert pipes at Hibbard Creek with a new at-grade slab span bridge began on September 3rd and was completed on Thursday.

Over the last two years, WisDOT has replaced four bridge spans between Sevastopol and Jacksonport. After replacing the bridge spans at Lily Bay Creek and Geisel Creek in 2024, crews completed similar work at Logan Creek and Hibbard Creek this year. The work was done to improve safety on the bridge and enhance drainage underneath it.
