Portion of North Front Street in Lansing to be closed this Friday through this fall for bridge pier construction

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), those who travel on North Front Street in Lansing will need to be aware of an upcoming road closure that may impact their trip for the next several months.

Beginning this Friday morning, February 16, weather permitting, crews will close the segment of  North Front Street between Henry Street and Hale Street to start work on Pier 1 for the Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing replacement project. That closure will take place in the one-block segment that lies directly beneath the existing Black Hawk Bridge.

DOT officials say that portion of North Front Street will be closed through the fall of 2024. Another anticipated closure of North Front Street will be from the fall of 2025 through the summer of 2027 as the bridge construction project continues.
