A closed connection in Iowa’s Great River Road looks like it will remain that way, and perhaps permanently.
The Iowa DOT offered $1.5 million to the city of Burlington to go to repairs of the Cascade Bridge, but the city rejected it because replacement of the bridge will cost between five and six times that amount, the Hawk Eye reports. The city can’t afford that until 2024, while the DOT grant would require spending by 2021.
I mentioned the bridge closure in a 2015 blog post after encountering it personally while trying to follow the GRR. The other closure I mentioned, X28 near Montrose, has been repaired.
