The estimated federal-aid cost for the project is 2,160,000 dollars, with a projected letting date of October 21, 2025. The scope of work includes topographic and boundary surveys, geotechnical investigations, engineering design, right-of-way and easement plat preparation, and securing necessary permits from the Iowa DOT, Iowa DNR, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
