Nearly seven months after Highway 25 south of I-80 in Adair County closed for two separate bridge projects, officials with the Iowa Department of Transportation said Thursday, work on the bridges is finished, and the road is once again open for travel. One of the bridges is over the Middle River, about 1.2 miles south of I-80. The second bridge is over North Turkey Creek, about 4.6 miles south of I-80. Both re-opened Thursday.

The bridge on Highway 71 just south of I-80, also opened Thursday afternoon. Bridge traffic had been down to one-lane, controlled by a stop light for north- and south-bound traffic.
