HUXLEY, Iowa – Nov. 21, 2025 – If you drive on U.S. 69 in Huxley, you need to be aware of a new roundabout located on the south side of town that will be open by Friday evening, Nov. 21, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s (DOT) District 1 Office.
This segment of U.S. 69 will be open to 2 lanes on Friday, Nov. 21, with a roundabout at Anthem Drive. The shoulder along the northbound lane will be closed to complete some work over the next month off the roadway.
You can learn more about how roundabouts work by visiting the Iowa DOT’s website at https://iowadot.gov/modes-travel/roads-highways/highway-safety-features/roundabouts.
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.
