This Just In 

• 09.10.24 Be alert for changes to the work zone at W Central Park and Marquette! Beginning Wednesday, September 11, northbound Marquette will be detoured at Lombard, and southbound Marquette will be open through the intersection. The intersection is estimated to re-open mid-October. In the meantime, stay tuned for good news on the Division and W Central Park intersection sometime in the next week. View updated detour map at this link. 

• Work on the flood resilience project at Marquette and River Dr was temporarily suspended this past spring due to subsurface conditions identified. July flooding further delayed the project’s completion. With river levels finally dropping back to and below 7 FT, storm sewer pipes where work is being performed are sufficiently clear to resume work. Watch for updates in a few weeks as work progresses. 

•  Work on W Locust is progressing. Over the next week or two, watch for intermittent periods of flashing red traffic signals at the intersection of Locust and Clark while the electrical is upgraded. Remember to treat the intersection as a 4-way stop when lights are flashing.

• Watch for updates on the intersections of Central Park and Division, and Marquette and Division next week.

• In July, the City performed smoke testing of the sanitary sewer lines in the Silver Creek area. As a result of smoke testing a variety of maintenance and improvement needs were identified. In follow-up, the City has contracted for cleaning and televised inspection of several sewer line segments throughout the area. Residents of the area are likely to see short-term transient lane reductions as the contractor moves through the area over the next two months.

• Iowa American has various water main and hydrant work happening across the City, including work on Division between 3rd and 4th, Summit Lane and Prospect Terrace, E 3^rd and Pershing, E 3^rd and River Dr, W 47^th and Pine, Ricker Hill and Concord, Ricker Hill and Arkansas, and Bridge and 9th St.
