SIDNEY, Iowa – April 9, 2026 – If you travel on Iowa 2 east of Sidney you need to be aware of an upcoming road closure that may slow down your trip.
Recent rains have delayed the start date of the pavement replacement on Iowa 2 east of Sidney. Crews will now start by patching the county roads on the detour route in preparation for the project on Monday, April 13 until Friday, April 17, weather permitting. There will be lane closures in place on Fremont County roads L-68 and J-32 and U.S. 59.
Iowa 2 will be closed to traffic starting on Monday, April 20 from .1 mile east of 342nd Avenue to the East Nishnabotna River. When this portion of the roadway is closed you will follow a marked detour route using U.S. 59 and Fremont County roads J-32 and L-68. Elder Corp is the contractor for this project.
