(Des Moines, IA) -- The Des Moines City Council is approving the final construction plans on an update to a Des Moines intersection. The intersection of 41st St. and Beaver Ave. will be changed next year. That's the one in front of Snookie's Malt Shop in Beaverdale.
Chris Coleman is the councilman for the area.
"It's probably the most talked about intersection in the 25 years I've been following city politics," Coleman says. "It's a complicated one but I appreciate everybody working on this."
Right now, Beaver Avenue curves where it meets 41st St. due to a former bar occupying space on the corner. Player's Sports Bar and Grill has closed to make way for the project. A map can be found here. It's expected to be complete in fall of 2025.
