MOUNT PLEASANT, Iowa – Sept. 27, 2012 – A concrete replacement project at the intersection of Business U.S. 61/Avenue G (just north of the BNSF Railroad bridge over the Mississippi River) in Fort Madison will cause lane restrictions beginning Wednesday, Oct. 3, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Mount Pleasant construction office.
The open lanes will have a 12-foot width lane restriction in place. Shipley Construction Co. is the contractor for this project.
Construction is expected to be completed by mid-November.

As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
