Better Roads Davenport

Change is happening. Bear with us!

Street and sewer improvements can lead to inevitable slowdowns and traffic reroutes. We ask that you keep your eye on the prize: a city with enhanced livability that can support existing business infrastructure as well as attract new companies. It’s a short-term hassle with long-term payoffs.

As always, safety is our number one priority. Staying calm and following construction zone signage will help us achieve that.

As we work to modernize the sewer and street infrastructure to support growth and a vibrant future for our community, remember: there are better roads ahead, Davenport!

The flood resilience project along and adjacent to River Dr between 3rd and Tremont is moving right along. Expect current traffic control on River Dr to continue through early to mid-July. As for the bike path, there have been a few delays due to the weather and coordination with the railroad. With directional boring under the tracks and a number of other phases of the project adjacent to the trail remaining, the recreational trail is now anticipated to remain closed through early to mid-May.

Important update on the Duck Creek Sewer Interceptor Project. While the project is trucking right along, the schedule of work has been revised to better align activities along the entire 5-mile route where work will occur. Find details at the project link Duck Creek Sewer Interceptor.
