Cedar Rapids Unveils $123 Million 8th Avenue Bridge Project to Enhance Flood Protection and Traffic Flow

Cedar Rapids Unveils $123 Million 8th Avenue Bridge Project to Enhance Flood Protection and Traffic Flow

The city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, held an open house to present plans for a new $123 million 8th Avenue Bridge over the Cedar River. This project is designed to replace the current nearly 90-year-old bridge, which is nearing the end of its useful life and does not contribute to the city's flood control system. The new bridge will be constructed approximately 15 feet higher than the existing structure to clear flood protection walls and will feature only one pier in the river, a significant reduction from the current design. This single-pier design aims to improve water flow during flood events by reducing friction and preventing water from backing up. The project's total cost is estimated at $123 million, an increase from the initial $95 million estimate, with funding sourced from federal, state, and local contributions. Construction is anticipated to commence in Spring 2027 and is expected to take about three years to complete. The new bridge will be built before the old one is removed to maintain traffic f...

Des Moines Halts Downtown Soccer Stadium Project Due to Budget Shortfall

Des Moines Halts Downtown Soccer Stadium Project Due to Budget Shortfall

The City of Des Moines has terminated seven years of negotiations with the Krause Group regarding a proposed downtown soccer stadium. The decision stems from a significant funding gap, primarily caused by recent property tax legislation. This legislation is projected to create a $12 million budget shortfall for the city in Fiscal Year 2028 and an additional $5 million gap in Fiscal Year 2029. The stadium project, estimated to cost around $90 million, was planned for the former DICO Superfund site, a 43-acre property south of downtown Des Moines that has been vacant since 1995. Des Moines Mayor Connie Boesen stated that the economic opportunities presented by the stadium and its surrounding district no longer outweigh the city's inability to responsibly commit to the previously considered terms, given the new financial constraints. The city took ownership of the DICO site in May 2021, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency began removing buildings from the contaminated site that summer.
