AMES, Iowa – June 19, 2017 – The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input on the proposed improvements to U.S. 52/Iowa 3 from 0.7 mile north of Boy Scout Road to the east junction of Pfeiler Road near Rickardsville in Dubuque County. The proposed improvements include the two-lane reconstruction of U.S. 52/Iowa 3 with the addition of 6-foot paved shoulders to allow for improved ride quality, in addition to long-term maintenance and improved safety.

Through traffic will be detoured during construction using U.S. 20 and Iowa 136.
