Nov. 30, 2012: The ramp seen here will be closing.
There’s going to be another visible sign of change for the Hubbell Avenue exit. The US 65 ramp to I-80 just to the west is going to close for six weeks. The bridge over the interstate between the two US 65 exits has already been torn down.
This week appears to be the unofficial start of construction season. The DOT has a long list of upcoming detours and closures. Also of note, I-35’s southbound lanes in West Des Moines are on the newly built concrete in the median so the old ones can be torn up and rebuilt.
