Officials with the Iowa Department of Transportation report the right lane of westbound Interstate 80/northbound I-29 in Council Bluffs, between the I-80/I-29 interchange (exit 4) and 24th Street (exit 2), that originally scheduled for repair Tuesday night (tonight), will instead be closed for repairs on Wednesday, Jan. 6th, beginning at 9-a.m., weather permitting.

Motorists are encouraged to find alternative routes during this project, as significant delays could occur. Repairs should be completed and the roadway reopened to traffic by 5 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 7th.

The Iowa DOT is in the process of reconstructing I-80, I-29 and I-480 in the Council Bluffs metropolitan area. The comprehensive interstate redesign is expected to modernize the highway system and improve mobility and safety of approximately 18 miles of interstate.

Motorists are encouraged to allow for extra travel time while this interstate improvement takes effect. If you would like more information about detours and traffic impacts visit the program website, www.councilbluffsinterstate.iowadot.gov/.
