U.S. 34 in Mills County reopened after second round of flooding
AMES, Iowa – June28, 2019 – The Iowa Department of Transportation has reopened U.S. 34 between I-29 and the Nebraska border today. The roadway had been closed since late May due to a second round of Southwest Iowa flooding.
Motorists in the area can expect intermittent lane closures at times as the repair work on shoulders and ditches continues.
Other flood-related closures continue on Iowa 2, Iowa 275 and Iowa 333.
Note: The interchange at U.S. 34 is the last southbound exit on I-29 to offer services such as fuel, so if you’re traveling south on I-29, please make sure your vehicle has enough fuel for the 60-mile trip to the next gas station in Rock Port, Missouri.
Travelers should check 511ia.org, the Iowa 511 mobile apps or call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide) for up-to-date closure information on state-owned roadways across Iowa. Closures due to flooding can be viewed by turning on the incident layer on the online map and mobile app.
