I-35 Ankeny to Huxley Detours
The I-35 and IA 210 interchange will be closed beginning Monday, March 17, 2025. All ramps and the bridge will be removed, and new ramps and a bridge will be constructed. Traffic will be detoured via US 69 and drivers can access I-35 from US 30 or NE 126th Avenue (Elkhart interchange). The new interchange is expected to be open to traffic around December 1, 2025. The contractor has been working on grading and paving the new southbound lanes that will connect from existing I-35 to the new interchange.
The 158th Avenue bridge will be closed to traffic beginning Monday, March 17, 2025. This bridge over I-35 will be removed and a new bridge will be constructed in its place. The new bridge is expected to be finished in 2026. The 142nd Avenue bridge over I-35 is progressing and is expected to be open to traffic mid-May. There will be an overlap where these two bridges are both closed, as well as the one on Iowa 210, so please plan your trips accordingly.
