2026 Street Construction Update

Week of July 27th

 

Decorah, IA (July 24, 2026) – Work on underground utilities along Heivly Street is nearing completion and paving will begin the week of July 27th.  Crews from Skyline Construction will grade for a new sidewalk and curbing along the east end of Heivly Street while Wicks Construction begins paving the roundabout at the intersection of River, Claiborne and Heivly.

 

Parking in the north half of the Day Spring Lane parking lot will be restricted for several weeks to provide room to work and minimize conflicts between thru-traffic and parked vehicles.  Motorist can expect a single lane of westbound traffic from State Street to Court Street with angle stalls blocked off.  Angle parking on the south half of Day Spring Lane and stalls along the buildings will be available as per usual.  The parking lot west of Court Street (farmers market area) will have limited, but ongoing restrictions from time to time.  Various phases of Heivly Street construction will continue into late fall.

 

The City of Decorah will also begin a chip seal project on Highland Drive, Nordic Drive and Stanwood Drive in north Decorah.  Joints will be sealed the week of July 27th with a chip seal laid the following week, weather permitting.  Both phases of work are expected to take a day and motorists will be directed around construction crews by flaggers.

 

Please call the City Hall at 563-382-3651 with questions.
