The US 169/IA 92 bypass on the west and north of Winterset will no longer have unimpeded traffic between the junctions.
Today, the intersection with 8th Avenue becomes a four-way stop, the Iowa DOT says in a press release.
A decade ago there was minimal development between the 169/92 junctions; a small strip mall in 2009 was the first. A Fareway opened on the northeast corner of the 8th Avenue intersection in the first half of the 2010s and there’s now a townhouse development north of it.
