Fifth Street is closed between 1st Avenue and 2nd Avenue. The closure is needed for construction of a new turn lane on 5th Street and reconstruction of the westerly half of the 1st Avenue & 5th Street intersection. Traffic on 5th Street is detoured using 2nd Avenue and 5th Street Place. Temporary traffic signals control the 1st Avenue & 5th Street Place intersection. The detour will remain in place until mid-September.

Access to adjacent businesses will be maintained at all times. Please look for the orange business name signs or contact the business prior to your visit.

The 1st Avenue Reconstruction 2010 Project received I-JOBS funding from the State of Iowa. For more information about I-JOBS, visit www.ijobsiowa.gov. Questions can be directed to Assistant City Engineer Scott Larson at 319.248.1720.
