Pending weather and rail coordination, the entire Duck Creek Recreational Trail should be re-opened by the end of June/early July.

• W Central Park will be down to one lane of travel in each direction between Ripley and Scott Streets for replacement of an electrical pole by MidAmerican Energy.

• 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.

• 04.04.25 | Riverfront Recreational Trail near River Heritage Park. As part of a flood resilience project, this project and the trail closure have faced ongoing challenges with coordination and permitting with the rail. Pending weather, river levels, and further coordination issues, the current outlook is for the sewer and valve work to be completed by mid-to-late April, with trail paving and seeding to follow. The revised target date for reopening the trail and completion of the project is now set for mid-May.

• 04.04.25 | Beginning Monday, April 7, the Iowa DOT will begin bridge rehabilitation work on the Harrison St Bridge over Duck Creek.  Work will start with the installation of a temporary connection to the Duck Creek Recreational Trail.  The Duck Creek Recreational Trail will then be closed under the bridge, and will be rerouted across Harrison St with the use of a temporary pedestrian signal.  Rehabilitation work will reduce travel to two lanes between W 35th and W 32nd Streets. The Iowa DOT estimates work will be complete in November.   

• 05.09.25 | Work on the Duck Creek Sewer Interceptor adjacent to and along the Duck Creek Recreational Trail is progressing steadily. Construction of the interceptor between Hickory Grove Rd past Fairmount is expected to be complete by mid-June. The contractor will then reinstall trail locations that were removed or damaged during construction before re-opening the trail. Pending weather and rail coordination, the entire Duck Creek Recreational Trail should be re-opened by the end of June/early July.

• 03.17.25 | Watch for updates this fall when the remaining phase of the Goose Creek Connector Trail and Veterans Memorial Parkway Connector Trail are complete.
