Road construction season is starting soon! Orange cones, lane closures, and detours can be frustrating, but improving the city’s major roads and neighborhood streets is one of the City’s top priorities. 

This year, the City plans a full list of transportation projects with more than $34.8 million invested in improvements. 

This Just In

• Improvements to 4th Street will be kicking off the construction season on Monday, March 30. Work will resume in two locations requiring closure and detours: Pine Street to Telegraph Road, and at the intersection of 4th and Fillmore Streets. Travel restrictions will change again in four to six weeks as work progresses. Please stay alert, follow posted detours, or consider an alternative route. Detour: 4th Street at Pine Street, 4th and Fillmore Street Intersection.

• Brady St will be reduced to two lanes between Dover Ct and Central Park beginning March 23 for sewer repair. Work is estimated to be complete by March 30.

• Iowa American has various water main, hydrant work, and temporary winter patch replacements happening across the city including Boise and Rockingham Rd, Lincoln and Columbia, Waverly and Telegraph, 47th St and Western, and 15th and Division.

Major Projects

• 4th St Resurfacing and Partial Two-way Conversion

• 01.09.26 | The Iowa DOT finished work on the Harrison Street Bridge over Duck Creek last week. While bridge work is complete, the Duck Recreational Trail will remain detoured until the spring, when the trail can be restored. Cyclists, runners, and pedestrians using the trail should cross Harrison Street at 35th Street while the detour is in place. 

•  04.04.25 | Use this link for information on the closures of the Riverfront Walk and Riverfront Recreational Trail near the Main Street Landing Project.

• 01.09.26 | The Goose Creek Connector Trail project has seen some delays due to utility and easement conflicts; however, it is on track for completion this spring as soon as the weather allows. The remaining area to be completed is from the north side of Kimberly Road to 39th Street. Additionally, some bike lane striping will need to be completed along Mississippi Avenue.
