What’s Planned?
- Realign and reconstruct approximately one mile of US 30 between 130th Avenue to 142nd Avenue
- Remove and replace the US 30 bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad
- Remove and replace the US 30 bridge over the Wapsipinicon River Overflow
Construction Timing and Traffic Impacts
Construction is planned to start in 2027.
During the grading phase, traffic on U.S 30 will be maintained in both directions.
