Mississippi River

This project is part of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration’s Habitat Rehabilitation and Enhancement Program funded by the Army Corps of Engineers and lies within the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.

Repairs will include the access road, parking lot, boat ramp, kiosk, wood rail fence, fishing platforms and removal of downed trees.

Effective immediately, wide load crossings will take place on the U.S. 30 Bridge over the Mississippi River at Fulton at the scheduled times of 9:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.

The program, originally scheduled for Jan. 17 and hosted by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, was postponed to February when Mother Nature swept the region with a winter storm.

From 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., naturalists and volunteers will be on site at Lock and Dam 13, 4999 Lock Road in Fulton, with spotting scopes to aid in viewing the bald eagles.

Twenty-seven hunters and their attendants harvested 15 deer that included six bucks and nine does.

Flood waters continue to recede, National Weather Service hydrologist reports

The National Weather Service in the Quad Cities reported that the water at Fulton was six inches above flood stage — which is set at 16 feet.
