Bridge replacement ...

The replacement of the Green Valley Bridge just north of Waukon is fully underway, with the photos above and at right showing the removal of the previous bridge structure nearly complete as of Monday, June 18. Completion of the project is expected to take about two months, depending upon the weather, and the project is a joint venture between Allamakee County and the City of Waukon, with the State of Iowa providing a majority of the funding for the project.

Despite Green Valley Road being closed near its intersection with State Highway 9 north of Waukon, temporary access to Green Valley Getaway is still available via the graveled area to the very left of the top photo. However, as the sign at left also says, that graveled access is not for traffic seeking further access through to Green Valley Road. Standard photos by Joe Moses.
