🚧 Heads up, Iowa Street travelers! 🚧
As part of the Iowa Street Reconstruction Project, a traffic shift is happening this week to prep for the next phase of construction.
👷 Crews will be re-striping lanes and adjusting traffic posts on Iowa Street — and that means:
...
❌ No more left turns from southbound Iowa onto 21st Street.
🪧 A “No Left Turn” sign will be installed, and the dedicated left-turn lane will be removed to make space for major road work on the west side.
🚦This shift allows crews to begin paving, including installing road sub-base and base, stormwater infrastructure, curbs, gutters, and concrete roadway.
🚙 Please use caution in the work zone, follow posted signs, and plan ahead for any delays. We appreciate your patience as we improve this busy corridor for the future.
