• 05.01.26 | The Iowa DOT remobilized on Harrison Street at Duck Creek a few weeks ago to reinstall the portion of the recreational trail affected by last year’s bridge reconstruction. The DOT expects this section of the trail to be open by May 8. Once the trail has reopened, they will need to close the pedestrian path on the east side of the bridge to complete repairs to the pedestrian railing damaged in an accident in February 2026. All work on and adjacent to the trail is expected to be completed by late May or early June. 

• 05.01.26 | Goose Creek Connector Trail update. The closure of 39th St between Eastern Ave and Mississippi Ave is expected to continue through June. Four sections of the trail remain under construction in the area. Two of the sections will be completed mid-May, the final two sections will be wrap-up by early July. On-going utility conflicts have resulted in delays. 

• 05.01.26 | The Duck Creek Recreational Trail crossing over Eastern Avenue will shift beginning Wednesday, May 6, for full reconstruction of the bridge.
