I am going back home at least three times in the next month, so of course this is going to happen.
Beginning at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 9, through Friday, Oct.10, weather permitting, crews will close Iowa 8 from U.S. 63 to Iowa 21. While the roadway is closed, you will follow a marked detour route that uses U.S.63, Tama County Road D-65, and Iowa 21.
The closure is about half a mile east of V18. That means that travel to the southeast can be accomplished via IA 8, V18, and E36 via Clutier. Due east is trickier. That’s going to require some gravel. Sherman Street in Dysart (car wash corner, and the intersection where there’s a gravel road heading east) turns into 190th Street heading west, which can be taken to V18 and then north on V18 to IA 8.
