The Iowa Department of Transportation and the state’s counties and cities currently have work zones set up in every corner of Iowa.
In addition, Iowa has recently experienced flooding that has required the closing of many roadways, especially in northwest and western Iowa.
Travelers should use 511ia.org for the latest on impacts to the state highways, U-S routes, and the interstates.
Driver behavior is the key to safety when approaching and driving through work zones.
The Iowa DOT urges drivers to slow down, watch out for flaggers, don’t follow work trucks into the construction area, keep a safe distance, and expect delays.
