Construction Resuming Soon on New Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing

Construction will resume soon on the new bridge over the Mississippi River at Lansing. 

Work was suspended in early June due to high water river levels and then flooding. Pete Hjelmstad – a field service coordinator for the Iowa DOT – says there’s clean up to do before work on the bridge can restart.

Hjelmstad says high water levels also delayed construction for the new Iowa Highway 3 bridge over the Cedar River in Waverly. Originally targeted to start July 8th, that project is now slated to begin August 1st.
