The Iowa Department of Transportation  is restoring limited mobility at the Interstate 29 and Iowa 2 interchange in southwest Iowa today (Wednesday). Officials say all interstate ramps are now open. Iowa 2 east of the interchange is fully open, but Iowa 2 west of 210th Avenue remains closed due to flood damage. Fuel and other services are now accessible at this interchange.

Some limited mobility is expected to be restored to Iowa 2 west of 210th Avenue by late August. We are working on an extensive long-range plan to modify Iowa 2 to help mitigate future flooding impacts. A contract has been awarded to re-align the levee and build an overflow bridge. That work is anticipated to be complete next Spring.

Other flood-related closures continue on Iowa 275 and Iowa 333. Travelers should check 511ia.org, the Iowa 511 mobile apps or call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide) for up-to-date closure information on state-owned roadways across Iowa. Closures due to flooding can be viewed by turning on the incident layer on the online map and mobile app.
