Cedar Rapids faces costly toll of new Cedar River bridge
Cedar Rapids engineers tell the Linn County Planning Commission that the draft Snyder report underestimates the costs of not building a new east-edge Cedar River bridge. The $30 million project would connect Mount Vernon Road to Highway 30, with traffic on Eighth Avenue SE and Mount Vernon Road to bear the burden if delayed or canceled, and daily traffic on Eighth Avenue SE could rise from 10 000 to over 30 000 by 2030.
