SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Feb. 29, 2024 – If you’re traveling on U.S. 71 in Okoboji on Monday, March 4 you need to be aware of lane closures that may slow down your trip.

Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones.
