The Black Hawk Bridge closed permanently Oct. 20, 2025, due to safety concerns, with demolition starting and a ferry launching in November.
The Black Hawk Bridge between Iowa and Wisconsin closed permanently on October 20, 2025, ending decades of service as a Mississippi River crossing.
Demolition began immediately, with a new bridge expected to open in 2027.
In the interim, a free ferry service will launch in early November to provide limited cross-river travel, while drivers must use alternate routes up to 30 miles away.
Officials cite safety concerns as the reason for the closure, and the new bridge will feature wider lanes and improved safety.
Local businesses and residents anticipate disruptions, but efforts like carpooling and staffing adjustments are underway.
