An unidentified 37-year-old woman suffered facial injuries in the July 4 fall off the Racine Street Bridge in Menasha, which is south of Green Bay. The incident occurred at about 10:30 p.m. and the woman was eventually pulled out of the gap. The bridge operator was alerted to the incident and kept the bridge in place while the woman was being removed. ![]() |

Local update from a utube post I stumbled upon: [The video is WisDOT footage.] "A Menasha woman rode her bike into the rising Racine Street Bridge on July 4th, 2018. After the fireworks show at the Jefferson Park in Menasha, the bridge was requested to open for multiple boats to pass under around 10:30 PM to return to the Menasha Marina. Now even though traffic was heavy, the boats will always have the right of way. As the bridge started going up, an intoxicated woman on her bicycle rode through both traffic gates (almost getting caught by the offgoing gate) and made an attempt to “jump” the rising bridge. Very clearly, this did not work, resulting in her falling face first into the gap. This particular bridge did not have a machinery room under the span, so had she fallen through she likely would have drowned. Many people in their car noticed her fall in, and after some hesitation got out to save her. Luckily, only minor facial injuries were a result of this accident, but could have been much worse. I was lucky enough to have met the bridgetender that was on-duty that night, and explained everything to me. This bridge was demolished in September of 2021, and had a full rebuild completed in April of 2023." |
