This Just In

• Great news!  The intersection of Slopertown and Hillandale Roads has re-opened. There will be intermittent daytime westbound lane closures west of the hub for shoulder repairs next week. 

• Division St near the Duck Creek Bridge has re-opened!  Some finish work will continue under lane reduction for a new approach at George Washington and below the bridge in the following week. All work should be complete by October 31, pending weather.

• Sewer lining work on Division St between 4th and 9th was delayed and is expected to begin Wednesday, October 28.  Sewer lining will require a closure of the center lanes.  Watch for changing traffic control.

• Traffic control on W 13th St has changed as reconstruction continues.  The road will be one westbound only lane between Stark and Zenith through early to mid-November. Once this section is complete, work will move to the area between Zenith and Waverly.

• Two significant projects are coming up that could impact travel in the Brady St and Veterans Memorial Parkway areas. 

  First, the southbound Brady St left turn lane onto Veterans Memorial Parkway will be closed between Sunday, November 1 and Sunday, November 15.  The closure is for IDOT pavement restoration.  Individuals using the location as a turnaround due to the closure of interstate exits should proceed to 55th St and turn back onto Brady from there. All others should proceed to 53rd St for eastbound travel.

  During the same timeframe, there will be periodic closures and lane reductions on and along Veterans Memorial Parkway between Jersey Ridge Road and Elmore Avenue while the contractor completes reinforcement work per Iowa DOT specifications. An effort will be made to minimize traffic disruptions while work is completed. However, detours are possible while repairs are made.

• Construction is nearing completion along the riverfront. Most work impacting travel should button up by the end of November.  View Map.

  •  Railroad crossing restoration Harrison and adjacent to Beiderbecke should be complete next week. Restoration work at River Heritage Park will follow in early to mid-November, with work at Gaines and the Pershing Perry area being complete in November.

  • Work on the 1930’s sewer interceptor project on River Dr between Brown and Gaines St will not be complete until late November due to the discovery of less favorable infrastructure conditions and additional work needed. Other phases of the project will continue through the fall/winter and into the spring on River Dr near Marquette, along Beiderbecke, and along the riverfront west of Marquette St.

  • The CBQ lot is being resurfaced.  Work will be complete by the end of November.

• Better roads are not limited to #Davenport streets. Watch for closures on the Duck Creek Recreational Trail beginning Monday, October 12, for trail resurfacing.

  Phase one will close the trail just east and west of Division St. Once work on phase one is complete, work will begin on phase two. In phase two, the path will be closed from approximately Washington St to Marquette St. With phase two, parking lot improvements will also be made, closing the Marquette St parking lot during construction.

  The project is estimated to be complete by the end of November, pending weather.

  See Detour Map.

• Follow the signed detour for the riverfront recreational trail.  Construction in the area has disrupted much of the trail between LeClaire Park and Modern Woodmen Park.
