Drivers take note: S. 1st St. bridge over KK River to close temporarily

MILWAUKEE -- If you regularly drive over the S. 1st St. bridge at the Kinnickinnic River, you'll have to find an alternate route beginning on Monday, June 20th -- at least temporarily.

The Milwaukee Department of Public Works will be performing maintenance on the bridge from Monday through Tuesday, 28th.

Officials say drivers should follow the detour route and signs as posted, and are advised to add extra commute time in and around this area.

The work on the S. 1st St. bridge is expected to be for the opening of Summerfest on June 29th.
