Back-to-back press releases from the Iowa DOT indicate two construction projects in Black Hawk County will start March 23.
The US 218 bridge in La Porte City, between the four-way stop and the north side of town, is going to be replaced. Traffic will not be detoured. There will be alternating one-way paths controlled by stoplights.
Pavement on US 20 between IA 58 (Hudson Road) and US 63 is going to be replaced in both directions. It’s very likely that it’s still the 1986 concrete with various patching, and now both sets of lanes will be torn up.
