GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Officials in Green Bay say a section of Webster Avenue will soon be temporarily closed for work on a new sewer project from NEW Water.
According to a release from the City of Green Bay’s Department of Public Works, Webster Avenue will be closed between Main and Pine Streets starting on Wednesday, August 13, at 7:00 a.m. and lasting until 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 14.

The project is led by NEW Water, the brand of the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District, which owns and operates many miles of underground pipes throughout northeast Wisconsin.
According to the release, portions of the interceptor system in downtown Green Bay have been in operation since the 1930s and are said to need improvements.
During the closure, access to residences and businesses will be maintained. Those needing to travel through the area can use East Walnut Street to North Monroe Street to Main Street as a detour.
