2023 Construction Season

Davenport’s City Council maintained momentum and focus on street and sewer infrastructure with the approval of the FY 2024 budget on March 22, 2023. Approval allocated another $23 million in street and $7.75 million in sewer infrastructure improvements during the 2023/2024 construction season.

• Central Park and Hickory Grove Rd Intersection Improvements
• Central Park Resurfacing from Brady to Pershing, and Farnam at Central Park Intersection Improvements
