The Iowa Department of Transportation’s District 4 Office in Atlantic reports the right lane of westbound Interstate 80/northbound I-29 between the Iowa 192/South Expressway (exit 3) ramps is currently closed for repairs. The lane closure went into effect 9 a.m. today (Wednesday, May 24th), and continues until 5 a.m. Thursday (May 25th), weather permitting.

To reduce traffic volumes while repairs occur, the northbound on-ramp at U.S. 275/Iowa 92 (exit 47) and the westbound on-ramp at Madison Avenue (exit 5) will also be closed until 5-a.m., May 25th.

The Iowa DOT anticipates that significant delays could occur, so motorists are encouraged to find alternative routes and allow for extra time while repairs are taking place.

Construction during the 2017 season is part of the Iowa DOT’s Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvement Program, a streamlined approach to planned construction projects on I-80, I-29, and I-480 in the Council Bluffs/Omaha metropolitan area. The program is the single largest project in the Iowa DOT’s fiscal year 2017-2021 Iowa Transportation Improvement Program. Visit the program website at www.councilbluffsinterstate.iowadot.gov/.
