It’s an Our Quad Cities News traffic alert.
According to a release from the City of Muscatine, Canadian Pacific–Kansas City Rail (CPKCR) will perform repairs on the railroad crossing on E. 2nd St. east of Oak St. on Tuesday, August 11. Both lanes of E. 2nd St. will be closed during this work. The release says drivers should be aware of the following detours:
Northbound Business 61: Traffic will be routed from the roundabout to Mulberry Avenue, then to East 5th Street, and right onto Park Avenue. This detour is required due to the ongoing lane closure on Oak Street for crane operations assisting with roof installation at the HNI Oak Steel Plant.
Southbound Business 61: Traffic will use Park Avenue to Washington Street, then East 9th Street, left onto Cypress Street, right onto East 5th Street, left onto Cedar Street, and finally right onto Mississippi Drive.
The work is expected to take a few hours. Once complete, E. 2nd St. will be reopened to traffic.
