AMES, Iowa – March 14, 2022 – The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input for proposed reconstruction of existing pavement on a slightly more than 1 3/4 mile stretch of Iowa Highway 25 from Pecan Avenue to Nice Avenue in Guthrie County. The pavement is currently in need of replacement. Additionally, the single bridge located within the construction area will have its existing guardrails replaced. Construction is expected to begin in June 2022.

A detour will be in place during construction, which will include I-80 west of Iowa 25 to Antique Country Drive, then north to County Road 925 (White Pole Road) in Casey. The approximate detour length is six-miles.

The public is encouraged to provide feedback about the project during a two-week public comment period beginning on March 28, 2022. For general information regarding the proposed work or online comment period, contact Scott Suhr, Field Services Coordinator, Iowa DOT District 4 Office, 2210 E.
