Work On Julien Dubuque Bridge To Be Completed in October

A project on the Julien Dubuque Bridge that at one time was expected to be completed in August now will stretch into October. Hugh Holak, a resident construction engineer for the Iowa Department of Transportation, said Tuesday that the bridge project is anticipated to wrap up in the next three weeks. However, the DOT previously predicted the work would be completed on August 15^th. That was changed to an estimated Labor Day completion. Workers are replacing the chain-link fence around the bridge’s pedestrian walkway. Holak said the exterior fence is finished, and workers just need to finish the interior one. The project began June 1, resulting in the closure of the bridge’s eastbound lane and detouring those vehicles into Wisconsin.
