Sioux City, Iowa – Oct. 26, 2023 – The Iowa DOT will close U.S. 20 east of the Glen Ellen Road/Buchanan Avenue intersection near Sioux City at noon today for an emergency roadway repair.

It is anticipated that U.S. 20 will re-open to traffic on Friday, Oct. 27 at noon. While this section of U.S. 20 is closed you will follow a detour using Buchanan Avenue, Correctionville Road, and Charles Avenue.

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.
