SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A WHBL listener wanted to share a picture they took along the mouth of the Sheboygan River as the sun began to rise Tuesday morning. The Army tug boat, with "Kenosha" on its sides, was along the south side of the river next to Blue Harbor Resort.
A person with the U.S. Coast Guard's office in Sheboygan could not say officially why the tug boat is in Sheboygan, other than he saw it Monday evening.
WHBL News has confirmed it is not here to help with the fix needed for the bridge on Eighth Street. Mike Williams with Sheboygan's Public Works Department says the city has ordered the parts needed to fix the gate that was damaged in an accident last month that prevented the bridge from operating for a few days. The plan is to have the bridge fixed around mid-December.
For now, the bridge can still operate, but anyone who needs its open will need to contact the city with at least one hour notice so additional personnel can block traffic where the gate was damaged so vehicles and people don't go on it when it begins to open.
