Muscatine Bridge Pier Cleanup Still On Schedule
Muscatine readers learn from Mayor Burns that Dove Wrecking Co will return around July 21 to remove old bridge piers after river levels drop further. Dore’s contract allows 150 days from April 1 to complete demolition, with piers dug out using crane-mounted shovels and explosives placed at bases. The No 1 Riverview pier will remain as a memorial, saved after City and Iowa Highway Commission agree, with Jaycees pushing for a plaque.
