About 70 street lights in downtown Marshalltown are being replaced by the city and Alliant Energy.
The project had been discussed since many street lights were damaged during the tornado in 2018. Crews began working on boring and digging for the new light posts earlier this fall.
The damage to street lights by the tornado was largely concentrated on downtown. There were lights damaged during the derecho as well, but the derecho’s damage to street lights occurred throughout town.
The estimated cost of the project is $475,000.
Instead of replacing only the damaged street lights, a broader replacement is taking place which will put the street light cables underground. The lights in place are fed by overhead cable.
