Riverview Park Bridge Demolition to Begin July 23
In 2011, a structural review rated the Riverview Park Bridge’s substructure in “poor condition.” The city
received a direct appropriation of $1,067,000 from the state legislature in 2013 to replace the bridge.
Beginning July 23, the bridge over the Cedar River at Riverview Park will be d emolished and removed
with completion estimated by early September 2014. During construction, the parking lot will be
closed. The restroom at Riverview Park will be closed until the new bridge is constructed. Access to the
park will be available via the Cedar River Trail from Maplewood Roadside Park as well as the NARCO
property.
The replacement bridge will be single span and have a grated surface to allow for better sunlight
penetration to the water below. Construction for the new bridge is scheduled during July and August in
2015.
