The replacement of the Black Hawk Bridge at Lansing just got underway in November, but it does not appear it will be in time for a seamless transition.
The current bridge was shut down Sunday after “unexpected movement” and it will be closed for at least two months, the Iowa DOT says. (KWWL has two stories, the first of which misspelled “Chien”.)
The bridge hasn’t been opened continuously since it opened in 1931. It was closed between 1945 and 1957 after damage from ice dams.
