Construction crews will close Harry Langdon Boulevard to traffic from Woodbury Avenue to U.S. 275/Iowa 92 to set girders for the future westbound Interstate 80 bridge beginning at 6 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, weather permitting, according to the Iowa DOT’s District 4 Office.

Harry Langdon Boulevard will be reopened to traffic on Monday, Oct. 17, by 6 a.m. Access will be maintained to property owners living along Harry Langdon Boulevard during the closure.

The Iowa DOT is in the process of reconstructing I-80, I-29, and I-480 in the Council Bluffs metropolitan area. This comprehensive interstate redesign will 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.
