Grading work closes I-380 ramp at I-80 in Iowa City overnights next week
MANCHESTER, Iowa – April 24, 2009 – Grading work will close the northbound Interstate 380 ramp to westbound Interstate 80 (exit 239) next week, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Manchester construction office.
The ramp is scheduled to close during the overnight hours beginning Sunday April 26. The nightly closures are scheduled from approximately 7:30 p.m. through 6:30 a.m. The work is expected to take up to one week to complete. When the ramp is closed, northbound I-380 traffic will be routed to the next interchange at North Liberty.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations can more than double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
