Sturgeon Bay Bridge, Historic bascule bridge in Sturgeon Bay, United States.
The Michigan Street Bridge features a double-leaf rolling lift mechanism with Warren and Parker through-trusses spanning across the Sturgeon Bay channel.
The bridge, constructed by engineering firm Keller & Harrington from Chicago, opened on July 4th, 1931 as the first free passage structure across Sturgeon Bay.
The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 for its engineering characteristics and continues to connect Sturgeon Bay communities.
Vehicle height restrictions of 13 feet 6 inches at the center and 11 feet 6 inches at the curbs protect the bridge from potential structural damage.
This bridge remains the only overhead truss, Scherzer-type, double-leaf, rolling-lift bascule bridge still operating in Wisconsin.
