Partial Closure of East 16th Street Starts Monday, Jan. 14

East 16^th St. will be closed between Sycamore St. and the US 61/151 overpass for approximately three weeks beginning on Monday, Jan. 14.

A portion of Dubuque’s sanitary sewer along Kerper Blvd. will be reconstructed and re-routed from Fengler St. to Sycamore St. as part of a multi-phased project.  The new sanitary sewer will replace a section of a failed gravity sewer system along Kerper Blvd. using a combination of gravity sewer main and pressurized sewer main. 

Phase 1 of this project is scheduled to begin on Monday, Jan. 14, with the closure of E. 16^th St. from and including the Sycamore St. intersection east to the U.S. Highway 61/151 overpass.  Motorists will be detoured using Elm St., E. 11^th St., and Kerper Blvd.  This closure is anticipated to last approximately three weeks. A map showing Phase 1 extents and detour routing is available at https://www.cityofdubuque.org/DocumentCenter/View/39010/Kerper-Blvd-Sewer-Reconstruction---Stage-1A-Detour-Map.
