CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – May 9, 2025 – Truck parking at the eastbound Interstate 80 rest area near Victor will be closing on Monday, May 12, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Cedar Rapids construction office.
Crews need to close the truck parking lot so it can be reconstructed. Additional truck parking spots will be added as a part of the project.
The truck parking lot will be reopened to truck traffic in early July.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to 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, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
