This Just In 

• Great news - River Dr has fully re-opened! As we recover from flooding and head into Bix weekend, many have also been asking about the status of the traffic circle at the foot of the Government Bridge.  There were minor delays to the completion of the traffic circle; it will not be open. Our partners at the U.S. Army Garrison Rock Island Arsenal tell us they expect to be able to open the circle to public traffic on August 2. However, due to a maintenance issue that has been identified on the Government Bridge, they are unable to open the bridge to vehicle traffic until the issue is resolved. The agency is working with contractors to complete needed work as quickly as possible. During the bridge closure, the bridge will still be available to walkers and bikers when in the closed position.

• Utah will be closed between W Locust and W 46th Streets beginning Monday, July 29. This bridge removal and reconstruction project is expected to be complete by early to mid-December. Find details at this link.

• Sewer repairs as part of the E Locust resurfacing project will require restricted turning at the intersection of E Locust and Eastern beginning sometime during the week of July 29.  View map at this link.

• Travel will be head-to-head on Division between Garfield and W George Washington Blvd beginning July 29 for a fire hydrant replacement by Iowa American Water Company. The work is estimated to be complete by August 6.

• Travel will be head-to-head on Hickory Grove Rd between Central Park and Hickory Grove Ct on July 29 for private structure repairs adjacent to the roadway.

•  Just before river stages began climbing, the contractor was able to complete the bulk of the work on the River Dr flood resilience project between 3rd and Tremont. Now that river levels have fallen further, the section of road has re-opened. As for the bike path, flooding has further delayed the completion of this component of the project. At this time, we cannot estimate when the bike path section will re-open as river levels will need to drop nearer to 10 FT and coordination with the railroad will be required before work can be finished on the underground sewer line and structures. We will keep the community posted as more information becomes available.

• E High will be closed between Esplanade and Mississippi through August 7 for sewer repairs.

• Iowa American has various water main and hydrant work happening across the City, including14th and Myrtle, and Division and Garfield as noted above.
