Creston, Iowa – July 18, 2023 – If you are driving on U.S. 59 south of Shenandoah in the coming weeks you need to be aware of a road construction project that may slow down your trip.
Starting on Monday, July 24, weather permitting, construction crews will be working on asphalt paving and grading work at the bridge over Fisher Creek, 1.2 miles south of Iowa 2 near Shenandoah. The roadway will be reduced to one lane with a lane-width restriction of 12-feet. You will be directed through the work zone with temporary traffic lights.
Help keep everyone on the road safer. Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
