The State of Wisconsin Lift Bridge Aids program will again provide funding for the two main bridges in Manitowoc.
Governor Tony Evers says the Clipper City will receive a share of $2.3 million to help maintain lift bridges across the state to help maintain and operate the bridges to bolster Wisconsin’s maritime industry.
The 8th Street Bridge will get $171,398 for fixes, while $28,436 will go toward the 10th Street Bridge.
Gov. Evers says Wisconsin’s coastal infrastructure and bridges, “play a critical role in keeping our economy and our state strong, so as a state, we are proud to support the communities that ensure our ports run smoothly and efficiently, ensuring Wisconsin products get from point A to B safely.”
Ten other lift bridges in the Cities of Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Racine will get a share of the state funding.
