Description

Press release from the City of Davenport: April 27, 2022 04.29.22 Work on the current stage of E 53rd St at Eastern will be transitioning on Monday, May 9. The change will shut down southbound travel on Eastern at 53rd St, and re-open northbound travel at E 53rd St. All of Stage 1 is expected to be complete in late May, pending weather and subsurface conditions. Use this detour when the change occurs. 03.25.22 Better roads are indeed ahead Davenport. Watch for ongoing and transient lane reductions on E 53rd St during the construction season now through the fall of 2023 for Phase II of the E 53rd St Reconstruction project. Starting Monday, April 4, work will shut down north, and southbound travel on Eastern Ave at the intersection of E 53rd St as reconstruction begins. This stage of Phase II will also reduce travel to one eastbound and one westbound lane at the intersection of E 53rd and Eastern Ave. Work at the intersection will shift north to south over approximately six weeks. Follow the signed detour for Eastern Ave, and consider an alternate east/west route on Veterans Memorial Pkwy or Kimberly Rd to avoid delays. Phase II will reconstruct E 53rd St in segments through the fall of 2023 and involve transient utility lane reductions in advance of reconstruction activities between Eastern Ave and Elmore Cir. Work will be segmented as follows: area of Lorton Ave to Elmore Cir, the Jersey Ridge Rd intersection, the area between Eastern Ave and Jersey Ridge Rd, followed by the final segment of Jersey Ridge Rd to Elmore Cir. Adjacent travel restrictions for advance utility work on the project includes lane reductions on E 53rd St between Jersey Ridge and Elmore. Water main work between Elmore and Elmore Circle should be complete by mid-April. The center turn lanes in that area will remain open. Watch for updates as this project progresses.
