Temporary Closure of State Street Lift Bridge for May 12 Structural Inspection

The City of Racine is advising residents and travelers that the State Street Lift Bridge will be closed on Monday, May 12, 2025, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., to accommodate a scheduled structural inspection by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).

During this time, the bridge will be inaccessible to vehicular traffic and masted watercraft. This routine inspection is part of the state’s ongoing commitment to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure.

Detours will be clearly marked and in place to help drivers and boaters navigate alternate routes. Commuters are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time for travel through the downtown area.

The City appreciates the public’s cooperation and understanding as this necessary inspection is completed.
