June 16, 2008

Short closures are helping expedite construction schedule

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) NE Regional Office at Green Bay is announcing both spans of the new Maple-to-Oregon bridge in Sturgeon Bay will be closed and will affect the ship channel. This will close the ship channel to vessels requiring a bridge opening at the new bridge location. The bridge will be closed Monday, June 16 at approximately 7 a.m. and re-open Tuesday, June 17 at approximately 8 p.m.

One span will remain open at other than those times listed. WisDOT urges all mariners to traverse the construction area with extreme caution.
