Two years after a permanent change to the I-35/US 30 interchange in Ames, a temporary one is here, and this time it will affect some football gameday traffic.
Starting last week, the DOT closed some ramps at the interchange in a project scheduled to last the entire construction season (story: WHO). According to a PDF included in the story at WOI:
- Eastbound 30 to northbound 35 will need to use Dayton Avenue and 13th Street.
- Westbound 30 to southbound 35 will need to go to the Dayton exit and turn around.
- Southbound 35 to eastbound 30 will need to go to the Dayton exit and turn around.
My thinking is, if you are trying to get to NB 35 after a game, go over to Grand Avenue or Duff Avenue and go north to 13th that way. The ramps at Dayton don’t have stoplights (unless they get temporary ones), and there are going to be a lot of lefts there.
