Traffic alerts to be in place in Davenport; part of former Kraft Heinz’s demolition process – KWQC-TV6

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - Road changes will be in effect starting on Monday, March 9 in downtown Davenport. City officials say this is part of the process for the demolition of the former Kraft Heinz facility on West 2nd Street.

City officials say lane reductions will be placed next week for utility disconnections.

Westbound River Drive will be closed between Marquette and Division beginning on Monday. A lane reduction will also be placed on Rockingham Road/2nd Street between Marquette and Taylor Street.

Officials say the contractor for the project estimates utility disconnections to be finished by Friday, March 20.

On Friday, TV6 confirmed Kraft Heinz is in the process of obtaining a demolition permit for the former lunch meat plant. Kraft Heinz built a new, multi-million dollar facility in an industrial park located near the interstate and moved operations a couple of years ago.

The city says once the permit is approved, demolition would need to happen within a year.
