The Iowa Department of Transportation’s Creston Construction Office reports bridge construction work on eastbound Interstate 80 between Antique Drive (exit 83), near Casey, and Iowa 25 (exit 86) will begin Monday, April 15th, weather permitting. During the project, traffic will be operating in a two-lane, two-way traffic pattern in the westbound lanes of I-80 in the work zone. The open lanes will have a 16-foot width lane restriction in place. This project is expected to be completed by late July.

The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
