Sioux City, Iowa – Sept. 11, 2023 – If you travel on U.S. 71 between Lake Shore Drive and Ackley Street in Okoboji and Arnold’s Park you need to be aware of a construction project that may slow down your trip beginning on Monday, Sept. 18 through Monday, Oct. 16, weather permitting.
While construction crews work on this project, you will be detoured around the work zone using Iowa 9 and Iowa 86. Access to all businesses along U.S. 71 will be maintained.
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.
