BRIDGE UPDATE🚧
We appreciate all of our customers working with us as we all navigate around this project. Thank you for your continued support!

🚧JULIEN DUBUQUE BRIDGE UPDATE (8-27)

We appreciate everyone’s patience during our work on the U.S. 20/Julien Dubuque Bridge. Here are a few updates and reminders as we reach the final phase of the project:

• The bridge will be open in both directions Friday through Monday of Labor Day weekend (Sept. 4-7).

• Work is on schedule and expected to be complete in late September, weather permitting.

• The eastbound lane will be closed on working days but will reopen for the evening commute.

• Closures will always be on the eastbound lane.

• There may be times when you see the eastbound lane closed and no work being done. Although active work may not be occurring, the lane may be closed for other reasons, such as material curing, which can take 24-48 hours.

📱 If you have specific questions about the project or closure schedule, you can call our District 6 office at 319-364-0235.

⚾️ What an incredible experience at the Field of Dreams! ⚾️

J&R Rental was honored to have the opportunity to provide equipment for last night’s MLB Field of Dreams game. Being able to play even a small part in an event like this was something pretty special for our entire team.

We also have to give a huge shoutout to the people behind the scenes. The entire event was incredibly well organized and run from start to finish. Seeing firsthand everything that goes into making an event of this size happen was impressive, and it was just a really cool experience to be a part of.

A special THANK YOU to our mechanics, Chas and Peyton, who were on call for more than 12 hours yesterday to make sure our equipment was ready and everything ran smoothly. We appreciate you both stepping up and representing J&R so well!

Hats off to everyone involved in bringing such an unforgettable event to life, and thank you for giving J&R Rental the opportunity to be a part of it. This is definitely one we’ll remember!

— Rob, Carter & the entire J&R Rental crew

THANK YOU, Dubuque County Fair! 🚜🎡

We’d like to extend a big thank you to everyone who stopped by the J&R Rental equipment display at the Dubuque County Fair! We hope you enjoyed getting an up-close look at some of the equipment we offer and appreciate everyone who took the time to check it out.

One machine that generated a lot of interest was our new Takeuchi Electric Mini Excavator! ⚡

Why is everyone talking about it?

✅ 100% Electric – No diesel fuel required
✅ Zero Emissions – Perfect for indoor projects and environmentally sensitive job sites
✅ Quiet Operation – Ideal for working where noise matters
✅ Compact & Powerful – Delivers the performance you’d expect from Takeuchi in a smaller footprint.

Whether you’re working inside a building, completing a renovation, or tackling a project where emissions are a concern, this machine is a game changer.

If you didn’t get a chance to see it at the fair, stop by J&R Rental to check it out in person or contact us to learn more about renting this innovative new excavator.

Thank you again for supporting J&R Rental and the Dubuque County Fair. We appreciate our community and look forward to helping with your next project!
