BRIDGE REPAIR: WisDOT using high-tech for repairs on Sturgeon Bay Bridge

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has started the repair process on the Michigan Street Bridge in Sturgeon Bay.

Engineers are using a laser-guided camera system to map damaged caused in April, when construction equipment being hauled across the bridge struck the steel overhead.

That information will be used to manufacture custom-made parts for the 85-year-old Michigan Street Bridge.

Engineers say this is the first time the system, called LiDAR, has been used in Wisconsin to map the surface of a bridge.
