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. This project is included in the city’s fy 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. As of June 6, 2025, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
