Sioux City City Council works to prepare for Gordon Drive Viaduct Project
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The Sioux City City Council met this week and discussed various projects involving the Gordon Drive Viaduct plan.
On Monday, the Sioux City City Council approved a right of way agreement for a portion of the Bacon Creek Conduit Reconstruction Project.
The project will be done in conjunction with the Gordon Drive Viaduct Reconstruction Project, from Rustin to Virginia Street.
Officials said five parcels of land will need to be acquired for more than $2.8 million dollars. Those parcels include Gordon Auto Sales and Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
The Iowa Department of Transportation will reimburse the city for the right of way costs starting in fiscal year 2028 when the purchase agreements and relocations are complete.
