Heads up, RiverBluff friends — summer construction season is here! 🚧
Beginning June 10th, the Julien Dubuque Bridge repair project will begin in phases and may impact travel between Dubuque and East Dubuque over the next several months. While getting to us may require a short detour at times, RiverBluff remains OPEN and ready to serve you as usual. 🌿
The Iowa DOT estimates detours could add approximately 15 minutes to your drive depending on the phase of construction.
Current projected timeline:
• Phase 1 (June 10 – Early July): Partial lane closures
• Phase 2 (Early July – Early August): Full bridge closure
• Phase 3 (Early August – Mid-September): Similar traffic pattern to Phase 1
We’ll continue sharing updates as information changes so you can plan ahead. Thank you for continuing to support local during construction season — we appreciate you more than you know! 💚
