The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input for the proposed pavement replacement on U.S. 218 over the abandoned railroad crossing 2.6 miles north of North Junction U.S. 30 in Benton County.
Construction of the project is expected to begin in Spring of 2024.
Traffic will be maintained at certain times during construction; however, it will be necessary to reduce traffic down to one lane via the use of flaggers during the removal of the bridge rail, guardrail, and placement of the flowable mortar. In addition, there will be a traffic detour during a portion of the summer months. More details will be provided once the contract period is known. When US 218 is closed, traffic will be detoured via County Road E44, County Road V66, and US 30.
