Last day of service for the historic Black Hawk Bridge over Mississippi River

LANSING, Iowa — The nearly century-old Black Hawk Bridge, a crucial link between Iowa and Wisconsin, is scheduled to close permanently on Monday, Oct. 20, at 7 a.m., allowing construction crews to accelerate work on its replacement span.

The Iowa and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation (DOT) announced the closure, stating that future construction phases for the adjacent new bridge pose a safety risk to the existing structure, also known as the Iowa 9/WIS 82 Mississippi River bridge. The permanent closure comes after months of intermittent shutdowns and emergency repairs triggered by movement detected in the bridge’s piers during the construction of the new foundation.
