Main Street Reconstruction

Cedar Falls is excited to launch the Main Street Reconstruction Project! The project, located between Seerley Boulevard and 6th Street, will include a variety of enhancements to benefit our community including improved pavement conditions, increased safety, bicycle and pedestrian mobility, improved traffic flow, and economic growth and revitalization support. 


Stay updated on the progress by signing up for email/text notifications at www.cedarfalls.com/notifyme and selecting "Main Street Reconstruction" from the list of options.

About the Project

The project will include new pavement, on-street bike lanes, sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping, as well as upgrades to aging underground utilities (storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water main). All this, while maintaining traffic and access to businesses throughout construction.

The City of Cedar Falls Public Works Department has contracted Foth to provide design services for the Main Street Reconstruction project. During the design process, our team will keep the public informed through a variety of engagement activities. With design anticipated to be complete in the summer of 2022 and construction scheduled to begin in the spring of 2023, updates, videos, concepts, FAQs, and more will be shared throughout the project’s life cycle.

The City and Foth have developed a project website to serve as the primary source for all project-related information. You can track progress, learn about the project, and submit questions or comments at www.cedarfallsmainstreetproject.com.

On the website you will find:

• Updates

• Overview and purpose

• Schedule

• Repository of project information

• Project team and contacts

We thank you all for your support and look forward to a successful project that enhances the quality of life and growth within Cedar Falls.

Current Progress


Beginning Monday, April 3rd, 2023 the contractor will begin working on the Main Street Reconstruction project. In order for the contractor to begin the work, a full road closure will be required. The work will begin in two locations: Main Street from 6th Street to 9th Street and Main Street from the south side of the 18th Street intersection to 21st Street. Below you will find two maps of the closure areas. The duration of these closures will be approximately twelve (12) weeks and the boundaries of each closure will be modified as the contractors work progresses (i.e. rolling closures). During the closure, the primary detour routes will be signed for College Street to the west and Highway 27/58 to the east.
