• 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.   

• 08.13.25 | Primarily involving excavation and underground work, this summer’s rain events have caused schedule delays on the Duck Creek Sewer Interceptor project adjacent to and along the Duck Creek Recreational Trail. Weather permitting, the section of the trail between Hickory Grove Road and Fairmount is expected to reopen in the first week of September. The section west of Fairmount is estimated to reopen by the first week of October. While construction and weather can be inconvenient, we encourage our trail users to hang in there. Once complete, this 5-mile, $16.25 M, ARPA-funded project will have a lasting impact on the future of our community.

• 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.
