Cedar Rapids progresses on the west side flood system with a $245 million estimate, while $180 million remains on the east side. The plan includes raising levees, extending Cedar Lake, larger pump stations, and replacing the Eighth Avenue bridge. City leaders note faster completion could lower costs and cite federal aid timelines and a $264 million bond program.
