Intermittent closures of the Highways 18/218/27 interchange near Floyd are coming next week.
The Mason City District Office of the Iowa DOT says, “If you are driving on U.S. 18, U.S. 218, and Floyd County Road T-44 near Floyd from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Monday, July 17, and Tuesday, July 18; be aware of intermittent road closures on U.S. 218 near Floyd that may slow down your trip (see map).”
The DOT says construction crews need to place bridge beams above U.S. Highway 218. Each beam will require closing the roadway for up to 30 minutes. Crews intend to place four beams on Monday night and three beams on Tuesday night.Â
Road closures that could affect your trip include:
Southbound U.S. 218Â Â
- You will wait in line to be allowed through the work zone after the bridge beam has been safely placed or you may travel around the work zone using Floyd County Road B-33.
Northbound Floyd County Road T-44
- Will be closed until all beams are placed.
East and Westbound U.S. 18
- You will not be allowed to turn northbound on to US 218 to go to Floyd while beams are being placed. You will need to continue eastbound or westbound through the intersection.
