This Just In

• Credit Island has fully re-opened following repairs to the causeway.

• Watch for lane reductions at and near the E 53rd St. and Elmore intersection beginning June 30. The good news is there will be no issues with driveway access to business. The not-so-great news is that traffic delays are likely. The lane reductions are necessary for full-depth patching to replace concrete panels in poor condition. Work in the intersection will be completed at night, while adjacent work will be performed during the daytime hours. Work is estimated to be complete by mid-August. Watch for changing traffic control during construction.

• Flood resilience improvements on Marquette and River Dr are nearly complete! The intersection has re-opened! Intermittent lane reductions are possible south of the intersection through July 7 for finish work. While challenges from the river and rain caused some disruptions to the schedule, the stormwater valve improvements will provide lasting benefits, allowing River Dr to remain open longer without staff intervention during high river levels.

• There is a lane reduction on westbound Kimberly Rd between Division and Pacific Streets.

• Work on the West Loop Trail is moving around the bend from Emeis to Locust. Watch for intermittent construction equipment entering and leaving Locust, as well as lane reductions, as the contractor constructs the new multi-use trail along Locust.

• Iowa American has various water main and hydrant work happening across the City including Bridge and 13th, Sheridan and 50th, Brown and 13th, 14th and Grand, 13th and Carey, 3200 Block of Harrison, 30th and Arlington, and the 1800 Block of 11th St.

• 04.04.25 | Beginning Monday, April 7, the Iowa DOT will begin bridge rehabilitation work on the Harrison St Bridge over Duck Creek.  Work will start with the installation of a temporary connection to the Duck Creek Recreational Trail.  The Duck Creek Recreational Trail will then be closed under the bridge, and will be rerouted across Harrison St with the use of a temporary pedestrian signal.  Rehabilitation work will reduce travel to two lanes between W 35th and W 32nd Streets. The Iowa DOT estimates work will be complete in November.   

• 05.09.25 | Work on the Duck Creek Sewer Interceptor adjacent to and along the Duck Creek Recreational Trail is progressing steadily. Construction of the interceptor between Hickory Grove Rd past Fairmount is expected to be complete by mid-June. The contractor will then reinstall trail locations that were removed or damaged during construction before re-opening the trail. Pending weather and rail coordination, the entire Duck Creek Recreational Trail should be re-opened by the end of June/early July.

• 03.17.25 | Watch for updates this fall when the remaining phase of the Goose Creek Connector Trail and Veterans Memorial Parkway Connector Trail are complete.
