Bridge project restricts Iowa 14 north of Knoxville to one lane beginning today
AMES, Iowa – May 18, 2009 – Bridge maintenance on the Iowa 14 mile-long bridge north of Knoxville will restrict traffic to one lane beginning today, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s (DOT) District 5 maintenance office.
The maintenance work will restrict the bridge to one lane with traffic alternating from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for approximately three days, weather permitting. 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.
