As a reminder to motorists in Manitowoc, the reconstruction of Maritime Drive between North 6th and Buffalo Streets is scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 8.
During the reconstruction, traffic on Maritime Drive will only be maintained in the Northbound Direction at all times, however southbound traffic will need to use a different route to access the downtown area.
Southern traffic will have access to the Blue Rail Beach Parking Lot, Manitowoc Marina, and the YMCA but not Buffalo Street.
It is anticipated that the project will be completed and reopened to full traffic around September 11th.
Motorists that normally use Maritime Dr. southbound and need to get into the downtown area south of the Manitowoc River, will need to use alternate routes such as Waldo Blvd. to N. 11th St.
Huron St. from Maritime Dr. to N. 11th St. is also another option or alternate route for traffic.
The intersection of N. 6th St. and Maritime Dr. is expected to remain open at all times.
Access to the Baymont Hotel and Maritime Museum shall be from the west side via Maritime Dr. and N. 6th St.
North 5th St. will be closed to all traffic at Buffalo St.
Buffalo St. will be closed to all traffic at N. 5th St.
