The Black Hawk Bridge will be imploded on Dec. 19, 2025, to make way for a new bridge.
The Black Hawk Bridge spanning the Mississippi River between Lansing, Iowa, and De Soto, Wisconsin, will be demolished on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., with a backup date of Saturday, December 20.
The implosion, part of a $165 million project, will be livestreamed at iowadot.gov/lansingbridge with no audio.
A 1,000-foot river restricted zone will be enforced, closing roads, ferry services, and boat landings.
Drones are banned, and residents in the area will receive safety guidance.
A second, smaller implosion will follow later that day.
Train service will halt for about four hours.
The new bridge is expected to open in 2027.
