WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Oct. 14, 2026 — The on-ramps to westbound Interstate 80 at Jordan Creek Parkway (Exit 121) will be closed to traffic starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Creston construction office. The on-ramps will remain closed for two weeks to allow crews to perform asphalt pavement work.
Northbound Jordan Creek Parkway
Drivers on northbound Jordan Creek Parkway will follow a marked detour route using northbound Jordan Creek Parkway, SE University Avenue and Grand Prairie Parkway to reach westbound I-80.
Southbound Jordan Creek Parkway
Southbound Jordan Creek Parkway drivers wanting to reach westbound I-80 will follow a marked detour route using southbound Jordan Creek Parkway, Ashworth Road and Grand Prairie Parkway.
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.
