Black Hawk Bridge in Lansing Closed for Months for Stabilization
The historic Black Hawk Bridge over the Mississippi at Lansing is closed after engineers found movement in two piers. About 2,200 daily users face detours via Highway 18 or Highway 14 as Iowa DOT stabilizes the structure, with reopening unlikely before two months. Construction on a replacement bridge nearby began last fall and is not due for completion until late 2026.
