GREEN BAY, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – The U-S Coast Guard is expanding its spring ice-breaking operations into the bay of Green Bay today (Monday).
Officials say the work may take several days to complete and then commercial carriers will be able to begin traveling in the bay.
The Coast Guard is advising anyone planning to be out on the ice to stay away from shipping channels.
The experts say ice-breaking activity can weaken ice quite some distance away from the tracks that the icebreakers create.
The work is being done to create access to the port of Green Bay.
