Marshalltown, Iowa – April 29, 2024 – If you drive on Iowa146 near Searsboro in Poweshiek County you need to be aware of an upcoming road closure. On Monday, May 6 until mid-July, weather permitting, crews will close the intersection of Iowa146 and Poweshiek County Road F-62 so the intersection can be reconstructed.
While the intersection is closed, you will follow a marked detour route around the work zone using Interstate 80, and Poweshiek County roads T-38, and F-62. (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.
