Lane shift on I-80 in Council Bluffs Friday

The Council Bluffs interstate project continues its slow progress. Another piece happens tomorrow with a lane shift on I-29/80 west of the IA 192 exit. I saw the concrete nearly ready on my trip last month, and a sign assembly that might raise your eyebrows if you’re paying attention:

It’s not the best quality, I know. This is before the west split. The left sign gives distances to the next three exits on I-29 in Iowa, including I-480/US 6 at the bottom. The exit tab uses I-29’s number (meaning it’s exiting from itself, at least for now)Both of these changes are likely in preparation for the lanes underneath becoming the I-29 “Local lanes” when the expansion is complete a decade from now.

UPDATE: I’ve been told that left sign was not intended to be installed yet and will be removed.
