Iowa DOT Gives Construction Updates for Highway 218, Highway 63 Bridge and Other North Iowa Projects

COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS BROUGHT TO YOU BY FLOYD COUNTY MEDICAL CENTER:

Road construction season is in full swing across North Iowa, and there are plenty of projects drivers should know about before hitting the road.

In this Community Conversation, Chris Berg and Kay Winkelman chat with Pete Hjelmstad from the Iowa Department of Transportation about several major highway and bridge projects affecting the region. Pete provides updates on work in and around New Hampton, Waverly, Janesville, Decorah, Sumner, Rockwell, and other communities, explains how this summer’s heat is impacting construction, discusses Iowa’s new 60 mph speed limits on many two-lane highways, and shares why the 511 Iowa website and app remain essential travel tools during construction season.
