The City has received several inquiries regarding the closure of the Elm Street and 13th Street bridges. The city has been pursuing repair and maintenance of the bridges for some time. Both bridges are the property of Canadian Pacific Railway. Currently the city has requested the railroad either repair the bridges or offer a monetary settlement to have the City of Davenport take ownership. Canadian Pacific has escalated this issue to their corporate offices and we continue to check on the status regularly. Public Works will look to provide another update on these bridges next month as they continue working toward resolution with the railroad.
