Cedar Falls Downtown Streetscape Update

From the City of Cedar Falls:

July 13, 2020

As part of the Cedar Falls 2020 Downtown Streetscape project, East 3rd Street will be paved and reopened to traffic the week of July 13, 2020. West 3rd Street will have mainline paving scheduled to commence on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 with adjacent paving taking place by the end of the week or early next week. The street is tentatively scheduled to open back to traffic the week of August 3.

3rd Street traffic can continue to detour to either 2nd or 4th via Washington or State Streets during paving.

The public is reminded to use caution if they are in the area as paving commences due to the number of cement trucks that will be working.

Construction does not affect business hours and pedestrian access to businesses remains available. To learn about businesses and services in the Downtown area, please visit communitymainstreet.org.
