We knew it was coming, and now it’s here. Construction on the first roundabout in Tama County starts this week. It’s at the intersection of US 63 and Business 30 in Toledo.
Stage 1A, according to the DOT’s press release, involves closing US 63 between the west Casey’s entrance and Business 30. This is the first stage because it includes building a culvert. Traffic for both directions of 63 will be detoured onto Business 30, Broadway Street, and 2nd Avenue.
There are six stages/substages, according to the June 2025 letting for the project. There will also be portions of construction that will close Business 30.
(I am just now noticing that the letting document misspells the sign “Turning taffic ahead” planned for Broadway Street. We’ll see if that happens in the field!)
