We’ve started to get a few questions about road closures and detours connected to next week’s visit by RAGBRAI. If you’re wondering how you are going to be able to get around the city next Saturday, here are some key details…

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲
Streets on the RAGBRAI route through Dubuque are (from west to east):

• Old Highway Rd.
• Seippel Rd.
• Chavenelle Rd.

• Pennsylvania Ave.
• University Ave.
• Loras Blvd.

𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
Vehicle traffic will be able to cross the RAGBRAI route at certain designated intersections. Our officers will be directing traffic at these crossings:

• Pennsylvania Ave. at the Northwest Arterial
• Pennsylvania Ave. at John F. Kennedy Rd.
• Loras Blvd. at Central Ave.

Traffic will also be impacted on Kerper Blvd. After completing the ride at A.Y. McDonald Park, many riders are expected to use Kerper Blvd. to exit the “dip site” area. RAGBRAI support vehicles will travel in dedicated lanes in each direction on Kerper Blvd.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
All vehicles will be required to be moved off of the RAGBRAI route by 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 25. Residents living along the route should find alternate parking beginning the evening of Friday, July 24, through 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 25. Signs with details about parking restrictions will be posted along the route next week. Vehicles in violation of the parking restrictions will be ticketed and towed.
