About a dozen roads across various north Iowa counties, including Floyd, Chickasaw, Mitchell and Fayette, are targeted for full-depth concrete patchwork starting next Monday.
The Iowa Department of Transportation’s New Hampton construction office says the patching projects will require intermittent lane closures, with pilot cars and flaggers directing traffic through the work zones on two-lane highways and single-lane closures on four-lane highways.
All Work will begin on Monday, April 11, until late May, weather permitting.
Routes affected by construction work include Business U.S. 18 at 18th Street within the city limits of Charles City; sections of U.S. 63 to the south and north of New Hampton; U.S. 218 in Osage from Iowa 9 north to Popular Street; and U.S.18 in Clermont.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to 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. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
