The calendar catches up with the weather in shifting from “Still Winter” to “Construction” on Monday. US 20 will be closed between Moville and Correctionville until Thanksgiving week. The existing lanes will be destroyed and new lanes built just to the north. This is a very tangible sign that there is progress being made on upgrading 20 to four lanes.
The detour calls back to history in a way, since traffic will be using the old (pre-1958) alignment of US 20 along with the new IA 31 on the west side of Correctionville.
