The Iowa Department of Transportation’s Council Bluffs Interstate Improvement Office has announced that traffic on northbound Iowa 192/South Expressway between Interstate 80/I-29 and 23rd Avenue was restricted to one lane near the interstate on Monday, Aug. 4, and will continue for three weeks. Interstate access is not affected.

The lane closure is needed while a utility company relocates a segment of a gas distribution line. The relocated gas line will allow new stormwater pipes to be installed that will help manage stormwater from the interstate reconstruction projects.

Construction projects in this area are part of the Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvement Program, which is a large scale modernization and rehabilitation of the interstate system. The Iowa DOT is committed to completing the interstate improvements with minimal inconvenience to the public.
