March 25, 2010: I-35 at US 30, with one of the few pull-through signs in Iowa. Exit 111A is closed starting today.
The exit from from northbound I-35 to eastbound US 30 closed earlier today for a month and a half of construction, the Iowa DOT said in a news release. The closure is necessary to build a new ramp farther out to accommodate a flyover from NB 35 to WB 30.
This affects traffic to Nevada, not Ames, so it’s not as bad as it could be during football season (but then, there’s only one game in Ames for the next month, the Texas game).
