The City of Muscatine will be closing the southbound lane of Mississippi Drive from Linn Street to Broadway Street Tuesday for maintenance work on the bluff. Portable traffic lights will be set up and working to allow traffic to alternate directions of travel by using the northbound lane. The Parks and Recreation Department will be using a tractor with an arm mower to trim back the brush and increase visibility along the bluff.
The lane restrictions will go into effect at 9 a.m. and last until approximately 12 p.m. The traffic pattern will return to normal once the cleanup operation is completed. Drivers can expect delays during the operation and are urged to find an alternate route of travel.
