Construction crews have been busy making forms and laying concrete on the Iowa River Trail.
Under an Indian-summer sun Wednesday, Manatts Concrete trucks were seen coming and going along Summit Street Road, as crews worked to make a concrete path.
They are working along the former Iowa River Rail Road (previously the Iowa Central R.R.) right-of-way on the Northside of Summit Street Road. They will continue until the latest stretch of the trail is paved to Radio Tower Road west of city limits. The construction will link completed portions in Marshalltown city limits to the road.
Construction started at the top of the Summit Street viaduct and will stop just before the bridge at Radio Tower Road, a distance of approximately three-quarters of a mile.
