Marshalltown, Iowa – March 5, 2024 – If you drive on Interstate 35 between Elkhart and Huxley you need to be aware of upcoming nighttime closures of I-35 that may slow down your trip.
I-35 will be closed from NE 126th Avenue to Iowa 210 each night from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 11 through Wednesday, March 13, weather permitting, so crews can remove the 142nd Avenue bridge over I-35.
While the roadway is closed, you will follow a marked detour route around the work zone using NE 36th Street, U.S. 69, and Iowa 210 (see map).
Changes could be made to detour routes during the construction season. Please visit 511ia.org for current detour route information before traveling through this construction zone and pay attention to detour signing and messages boards while driving.
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.
