Bettendorf Public Works Crews Start to Remove Flood Barriers Today

U.S. 67 (River Drive), Grant Street, and 6th Street are back open as the Mississippi River recedes.
As part of the reopening process, Bettendorf Public Works Crews cleaned and inspected the roadways for damage, as well as removed the concrete barriers and ensured floodwaters did not harm the electricity connected to traffic lights.
Public Works Crews are now focusing on Leach Park, which remains closed to the public.
Starting May 11, workers will start removing debris and the concrete flood wall. There is no reopening date set at this time.
