Some On-Ramps To Temporarily Close in Dubuque

A highway bridge repair project this construction season will temporarily close some on-ramps in Dubuque. The project involves repairing the bridge by the Locust Street Hy-Vee. The state project will repair parts of bridge abutments on an elevated portion of U.S. 61/151 near the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Salina Street. The bridge girders sit on the abutment. This project is repairing the area from behind the girders to the road surface. the project is scheduled to go out for bids in March and has an estimated price tag of $325,000. Crews will work from one side of the roadway to the other, so the traffic pattern along that stretch of U.S. 61/151 will be shifted accordingly. The project is expected to last approximately two months.
