The Iowa DOT wants to do a complete reconstruction of US 52/IA 3 east of Luxemburg, and a roundabout at County Road Y13. The presentation shows a lot of accidents from cars turning left at that intersection. Some residents aren’t happy about the plan.
Detailed PDFs of the project are on the DOT’s website. Aside from the roundabout, a paved shoulder is added and there are a few places where a curve is lengthened. Construction is planned for 2018, while work on the Southwest Connector in Dubuque continues — and when that happens, US 52 will be rerouted onto IA 136 and US 20 permanently.
