College Street Bridge Project
The City of West Branch has awarded the construction of College Street, Second Street and the College Street Bridge to Taylor Construction, Inc. of New Vienna, Iowa. Work on the project is anticipated to begin on Monday, March 25, 2019. The sequence of work will start with removal of the bridge and relocation of utilities near the bridge. The Contractor proposes to work on relocating water main and installing storm sewer on College Street and Second Street west of the bridge while bridge construction is underway. College Street east of the bridge will not be impacted until the new bridge is completed.
There will be temporary disruption to driveways when storm sewer or water main installation is underway. The area will be back filled with gravel to provide temporary surfacing until the Contractor is ready to reconstruct the road. The contractor will set up a location for temporary mailboxes. Once location has been approved by the Post Master, information will be posted on the City website. Garbage and recycling will continue as usual unless the collection agency requests alternate pickup locations. If this occurs, the Contractor will provide notice and will work with the collection agency to continue the service.
The City of West Branch recognizes that this road reconstruction project will be an inconvenience to the residents involved. Although we thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience during the construction process, we are well aware that issues will arise as construction progresses.
