Green Bay Transportation

Somehow, I doubt that there is regularly scheduled commercial jet service between Green Bay and any international city. But they do fly jets here, which means that there are a lot of people in the upper peninsula of Michigan who will drive to Green Bay to fly. I am not at all unusual myself as someone who is willing to drive 180 miles each way in order to take advantage of the better air service - and much better air fares - that are offered here. (I flew out of Green Bay when I took my trip to Sweden in December 2003.) Looking in the parking lot here at "Austin Straubel," you'll see quite a few cars with Michigan plates. Unfortunately, they don't have covered parking here - so if you travel in wintertime you had better make sure you have a shovel and a good snow brush in your car.

The airport that links Green Bay with several other cities in America is called the Austin Straubel intl airport. It is located to the southwest part of Green Bay with a good road (Airport Dr.) that gets you to highway 41 and 43. This airport is pretty close the city center and will only take about 15 minutes to the center by car.

Interstate 43 comes to Green Bay from the south and links Green Bay to Milwaukee. 43 circles Green Bay on the north, south, and east, but not the west. Highway 41 runs north/south along the western side of Green Bay. Mason St. (54) runs through the center of the city going east/west. Ashland St. (32) and Monroe Ave. (57) run through the center of the city going north/south to the west and east of the Fox River.
