Another project that is a long time in coming will change the vista of the city of Humboldt and how it bisects the Des Moines River Valley in the community.
It also will provide a new rec-reational outlet for citizens.
It also will provide a safe pas-sage from the northern, central and eastern portions of Hum-boldt and Dakota City to the city’s southwest side without having to walk along or cross Highway 169.
The project is a pedestrian, single-span bridge across the Des Moines River, linking the existing Cottonwood Trail to Eagle Ridge where there will be a 2.2-mile granular trail around a heavily-wooded area to the northeast of Eagle Ridge Drive.
