Davenport, IA – Starting March 4, drivers traversing Wisconsin Avenue over Interstate 80 in Scott County, Iowa, will need to plan for delays due to a significant construction project.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) has announced that the bridge will be closed until mid-summer 2024 for necessary repairs. During this period, a detour route will be in place, directing traffic through Kimberly Road, Maysville Road, and West 90th Street, aiming to minimize disruption.
Motorists are urged to exercise increased caution when navigating the work zone. The Iowa DOT emphasizes the importance of adhering to the posted speed limits and signage, noting that fines for moving violations are substantially higher in construction areas. The safety measures include staying alert, maintaining safe distances between vehicles, and wearing seat belts.
For the latest updates on traffic and construction, travelers can access the Iowa 511 system, which provides real-time information via website, phone, and social media platforms. Additionally, the public can sign up for personalized alerts through the “Your 511” service to stay informed about the progress of the bridge repairs and other traffic advisories.
For further details regarding the construction project, interested parties can contact Adrian Simonson at the Iowa DOT Davenport construction office.
