After nearly two months of construction Riverside Road has re-opened to the public.

W61, or Riverside Road, was closed beginning July 5th from 135th Street to about a quarter mile south of 130th Street. Two existing reinforced concrete box culverts were extended, and grading work was done to improve foreslopes around each culvert. Iowa Bridge and Culvert, L.C., of Washington was awarded the project for $281,613.07. According to the Washington County Engineer’s Office, local construction dollars were used to pay for the project.
