The Iowa DOT has announced that US 63 is going to close north of Traer on July 25 to replace the deck on the bridge over 12 Mile Creek. Traffic will be detoured on IA 8, IA 21, and D52. The bridge doesn’t look like it should need a fix, but that’s what it says on the card.
(Those who aren’t afraid of gravel need only take a 3-mile detour.)
I can hope, but have no expectation, that putting up the detour signs will result in getting rid of the incorrect “Jct 21” on westbound 8/northbound 21 that’s been there since 1998. (See the bottom of the IA 402 page.)
