The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input on the proposed bridge replacement on U-S Highway 65 over the West Fork Cedar River in Cerro Gordo County, or between Rockwell and Sheffield.
Proposed improvements include removing and replacing the existing bridge, re-align 120th Street to accommodate the new bridge, reconstruct the approach pavement, and update the guardrail to current standards.
Traffic will be staged in two phases during the project. Thru traffic will be maintained through the first phase of the project, and then maintained via an off-site detour through the remainder of construction.
Construction is expected to start in the spring of 2026 and end in the fall of ‘26.
Public input will be accepted through January 20th. For more information, go to iowadot.gov, and look under latest news.
