State Okays Keeping F Avenue Bridge Open
The Iowa Department of Transportation will keep the F Avenue Bridge open during construction of a five-in-one bridge and dam, transferring traffic to the new structure later. City and state officials had debated closures, with a compromise suggesting five months of closure, but a letter from Leonard C. Falcom reversed that plan. Mayor Don Canney offered little explanation, while Traffic Engineer Mel Meyer noted the decision is state affairs and the state bears the costs of keeping the crossing available.
