| Summary | The Coast Guard is proposing to alter the operating schedule that governs the Eighth Street Bridge, mile 0.29 and the Tenth Street Bridge, mile 0.43, over the Manitowoc River, in the town of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The City of Manitowoc has requested a full review of the current bridge regulations to alleviate vehicle congestion in downtown Manitowoc and to operate both bridges remotely. On May 21, 2025, we published an interim rule requesting comments in the Federal Register. We are now proposing to include remote operations for the drawbridges. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaki |
