Seek Solution on F Avenue Bridge
City and state officials scrutinize the F Avenue Bridge to craft a compromise that keeps the Cedar River span in service. The bridge, crossing Cedar River between F Avenue NW and B Avenue NE, will be replaced by the new five in one bridge and dam project under construction north of May’s Island. The structure will include two traffic levels, with the upper level serving four northbound lanes.
