Iowa Department of Transportation crews will be closing the northbound on-ramp at Hickman Avenue and the northbound off-ramp at Douglas Avenue. The closure will begin Monday evening and go through mid-August, according to the DOT.
Drivers can use the marked detours.
The closures are being done to allow the ramps to be redone and for additional paving in the lanes. The extra paved area will make it possible to achieve the ultimate four-lane design, and lanes will be opened in their final configuration as they are able, according to the DOT. All of the lanes are expected to be open in 2027.
