CLINTON, IOWA – The City of Clinton appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation as construction progresses on the Manufacturing Drive and Bluff Boulevard Improvement Project. The following is the latest construction and traffic update.
College Avenue & Bluff Boulevard
The intersection of College Avenue and Bluff Boulevard is anticipated to reopen to traffic by Wednesday, September 30, 2026. While recent weather conditions have caused minor delays, the contractor is working diligently toward reopening the intersection by this date.
South 19th Street & Manufacturing Drive
Concrete work is currently underway for the proposed roundabout at South 19th Street and Manufacturing Drive. The contractor has completed concrete work on three legs of the intersection and is scheduled to begin work on the colored concrete areas next week, with asphalt transitions to follow.
Three legs of the roundabout are anticipated to open to traffic by October 16, 2026. The contractor is expected to complete the north leg of the roundabout before the end of November.
Other work – Manufacturing Drive
South 21st Street to Nestle Purina will be under construction until November 15th, 2026. Once these sections of roadway are complete, traffic will be restored from College Avenue to Highway 30.
Other work – Bluff Boulevard
The contractor will work from the east side of College Avenue to South 14th Street for the remainder of the construction season. We anticipate restoring through traffic on this section at the end of the year. The roundabout at South 14th Street will commence in Spring of 2027.
