290th Street work begins
News · July 17, 2014


Cedar County Secondary Road Department announced that work began 7 a.m. Wednesday on 290th Street/F44 from X40/Garfield Ave. to west of Franklin Avenue. The area is the section of road going through Springdale.


The road is closed to all but local traffic as Metro Pavers of Iowa City is reconstructing F44 from X40 to just west of Franklin Ave.

A detour has been established from West Branch that involves taking Interstate 80 west to exit 259/Garfield Ave. The county did not say when the project would end, except that the detour will be in place “until further notice.”

“Local access will vary as the project progresses,” read a press release from the county.

A map of the area under construction can be found at http://www.cedarcounty.org/offices/engineer/Road%20Closures/F44%20Springdale%20reconstruction%20press%20release.pdf. You may also find a link to the map at the Cedar County Web site on the county engineer’s main page.
