Port of Green Bay Reopens for 2026 Navigation Season
By Christi Kleiner |
The Port of Green Bay has reopened after closing for several weeks due to high water flow levels on the Fox River, resulting in unsafe navigation conditions for commercial marine traffic. The port unexpectedly closed on April 18 after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) opened the dam gates on Lake Winnebago to relieve high water levels after heavy rainfall in the area. The opening of the gates created the abnormal water flows. Brown County, which operates the port, said the closure is resulting in millions of dollars of cargo being diverted to other ports, harming the overall economy of Northwest Wisconsin. The port opened on May 15.
