Dodge Street is an east-west residential street in Racine, Wisconsin. It follows the northern bank of the Root River for 0.24 miles (0.39 km), or four blocks, between Michigan Boulevard in the east and Erie Street in the west. It is the first cross street north of the Root River for North Main Street, crossing the foot of the Main Street Bridge. Dodge Street is equivalent to 1100 (north) in Racine's addressing system; that is, buildings along cross streets immediately north of Dodge have street addresses beginning with 1100, while buildings immediately south of it have addresses beginning with 1000.
History
In 1996, the Main Street Bridge was demolished and replaced, effectively cutting off easy access to Dodge Street. Motorists were discouraged from using Dodge and Erie streets as a shortcut to get to downtown Racine from the north during the construction process, since these streets were not equipped to handle the additional traffic.
