About this event

This is a Doors Open Milwaukee 2026 ticketed tour. This walk traces Milwaukee's bridge engineering along the Riverwalk: rafts and rope ferries giving way to swing spans, then the vertical lifts that still yawn open for traffic today. These bridges were also flashpoints and sometimes a battleground. We'll look at the gears, the counterweights, and the century of grudges that built them.
