The Iowa DOT is doing nighttime closures of US 30 at I-35 to place beams overhead for the new flyover ramp, Radio Iowa reports. As both IPR and an earlier blog post note, this was supposed to be done by now but won’t be complete until next summer.
Significant construction after Thanksgiving in Iowa is pretty rare, especially anything that isn’t a wrap-up. Consider, for example, these notices of construction on US 63 in Waterloo and the Viking Road exit in Cedar Falls getting their wintertime traffic alignments, plus IA 17 opening between Goldfield and Eagle Grove on Nov. 21.
