Bremer Ave Bridge Project Delayed

The Iowa Department of Transportation has informed the City of Waverly that the replacement of the Bremer Avenue bridge over the Cedar River bid letting has been delayed. The plan before the delay was for a bid letting in September 2023 with closure and removal estimated to begin in the Fall/Winter of 2023. Completion and reopening was estimated for fall/winter of 2024. Even though the bid letting will now be in May 2024, the contract will be written to follow a similar timing only a year later with the closure and removal of the bridge estimated to take place during the Fall/Winter 2024 and completion and reopening estimated to occur in the Fall/Winter of 2025.
