BRIDGEWATER, Iowa – March 6, 2026 – If you travel on Iowa 92 near Bridgewater you need to be aware of an upcoming bridge closure that may affect your trip according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Creston construction office.
Crews will need to close the Iowa 92 bridge over the West Fork of the Nodaway River, 1.6 miles east of Adair County Road N-51, on Monday, April 6, until late October, weather permitting.
When the bridge is closed, you will need to follow a marked detour route that uses Iowa 148, Adair County roads G-61 and N-72, and Iowa 92.
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.
