An eight-month-long closure of IA 3 in Dubuque County starting today will continue the $15 million rebuild of the highway, an Iowa DOT press release says.
This segment, originally scheduled for 2021, is specific to the segment between Boy Scout Road and the west city limits of Rickardsville. The project will include reconfiguring both ends of the road through Rickardsville that was bypassed nearly a century ago as part of the original paving of the highway.
A little while ago, I went through the history of the highway between Luxemburg and Sageville (Part 1, Part 2), which now only carries the IA 3 designation.
