GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Webster Avenue between Main and Pine streets will be briefly closed to traffic next week.
The closure is scheduled to be in effect from 7 a.m. Aug. 13 to 7 a.m. Aug. 14. However, work operations are weather dependent and subject to change.
The detour will utilize E. Walnut Street, N. Monroe Street and Main Street. Access to residences and businesses will be maintained. Motorists should anticipate back-ups, use caution while driving through the work zone and are encouraged to find alternate routes.
According to Green Bay’s public works department, the closure is due to a sewer project by NEW Water, the brand of the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District. It will help ensure that “our community can continue to flush the toilet, wash their hands, and run their businesses whenever they want.”
NEW Water owns and operates miles of underground pipes — including a series of larger, deeper pipes called an interceptor system — located throughout Northeast Wisconsin. In downtown Green Bay, portions of this system have been in operation for nearly 100 years “and are in need of improvements in order to revitalize critical, aging infrastructure to protect public health and the environment.”
