Black Hawk Park campground opens; culvert replacement delayed to October
Summary
Conservation staff told the board campgrounds will open tomorrow but a precast culvert replacement at Black Hawk Park is backordered; staff installed a temporary concrete repair expected to hold through the summer and said the permanent installation is scheduled for October and will take two to three weeks.
Conservation staff reported that campgrounds in Black Hawk County will open the next day but that planned replacement of a precast culvert at Black Hawk Park was delayed because the culvert is backordered. The county had planned the replacement before camping season but was notified of a long lead time; staff said the installation is now scheduled for October and will take two to three weeks.
In the interim crews removed the gravel “band‑aid” placed last fall and poured about 4.5 cubic yards of concrete to stabilize the washout and reduce the risk of further failure this summer. “Campground's officially open tomorrow,” conservation staff said, and staff invited follow‑up questions about access and restroom availability.
