Polk County applied and received a $25 Million BUILD Grant for the reconstruction of Broadway Avenue from 2nd Avenue to Hubbell. This project will include reconstruction of the 5.2-mile roadway into a three-lane urban cross section that includes a center two-way left-turn lane. The project also includes plans to add more through and turn lanes to major intersections, including IA-415, US 69, and US 6. A proposed underpass will allow vehicles and trucks to pass freely under the busiest two rail crossings in the corridor, and a multi-use trail from Fourmile Creek to IA Hwy 415 will connect to the Gay Lea Wilson trail and the Chichaqua Valley Trail. The project also proposes to eliminate a freight impediment by lowering Broadway at the I!235 overpass structures to eliminate the 14'-4" height restriction that is currently in place. As of May 31, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2026 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2024.
