Pavement work restricts U.S 218 in Osage next week
NEW HAMPTON Iowa – April 24, 2009 – Filling pavement cracks on U.S. 218 in Osage will restrict traffic Tuesday and Wednesday, April 28 and 29, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s New Hampton construction office.
Weather permitting, a single lane closure in each direction will be in place from 1st Street to 15th Street in Osage from approximately 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Portions of the parking areas for some businesses will also be closed intermittently. Traffic will be assisted by arrow boards and flaggers. The roadway will be returned to normal traffic patterns when workers are not present.
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.
