Marshalltown, Iowa – April 29, 2024 – If you drive on U.S. 63 in Tama and Poweshiek counties between U.S. 6 and the city of Tama in Tama County, you need to be aware of an upcoming road closure that may impact your trip.
Beginning on Monday, May 6 until late September, weather permitting, crews will close the roadway and place an overlayment on the existing road. You will follow a marked detour route around the work zone using U.S. 6, Iowa 21, and U.S. 30 (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.
The latest traveler information is available anytime through our 511 system. Visit 511ia.org; call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide); stay connected with 511 on Facebook or Twitter (find links on our 511 Social Media Sites page); or download the free app to your mobile device.
