Marshalltown HMA Street Rehab Project Gets Underway Monday, June 15, 2026 • Marshalltown, IA

Manatt’s will begin rehabilitating over four miles of Marshalltown streets on June 15, 2026, following a June 8 award by the Marshalltown City Council. The project includes milling and asphalt paving, with work pausing from July 21 to July 23 for RAGBRAI to ensure all roads remain open for the event.

How will the street rehabilitation affect Marshalltown residents?

The City of Marshalltown announced that certain roads will be closed to thru traffic and all on-street parking will be restricted on affected streets. Local access to driveways within work zones will be coordinated on-site, and the city will provide door hangers to residents along the roads being rehabilitated.

Work will be performed by multiple crews. According to the city, this means one crew may complete a portion of the work, followed by a gap of a few days before another crew arrives for the next operation. Roads will remain closed to thru traffic during these intervals.

Did You Know? All street rehabilitation work is scheduled to pause on July 21 to ensure all roads are open for RAGBRAI, with work resuming after July 23.

What is the timeline and scope of the work?

Traffic control equipment is expected to be delivered to street sides on Friday, June 12, though the city anticipates no traffic impacts until the official start on June 15. Milling work will begin on State Street between 5th St and 13th St.

The project involves milling, adjustments to utility fixtures, curb repair, and the application of two layers of asphalt in most areas. Standard working hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that the coordination of multiple crews and the restriction of on-street parking create significant short-term logistical challenges for residents. However, the city’s decision to prioritize a “better end product” through these closures suggests a focus on long-term infrastructure stability over immediate convenience.
