Iowa Department of Transportation - Local Road Detour Agreement

DATE: January 12, 2022
Assistant City Engineer Bob Schiesl recommends City Council approval of an
agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation for the use of local roads as an
authorized detour route for the US Highway 61-151 Bridge Abutment Replacement
Project.
The Iowa DOT is proceeding with a Bridge Abutment Replacement Project on the
overhead US Highway 61-151 bridge structure in proximity of the Salina Street and
Railroad Avenue intersection.
Due to the required construction staging and the head -to -head 2-way highway traffic
lane shift work zone, this will require the temporary closure of the US 61-151 /
Grandview northbound on ramp. Due to the temporary on ramp closure, South
Grandview Avenue between US61-151 and US20 will serve as the designated detour
routes for vehicular traffic. It is anticipated that the local road detour will be in effect
from approximately July to October 2022.
Due to the head -to -head 2-way highway traffic lane shift work zone near the Locust
Connector intersection, this will require the temporary closure of the US 61-151 /
Central Avenue on ramp at Fourth Street. Due to the temporary on ramp closure,
southbound Central Avenue commercial truck and vehicular traffic will be detoured on
East 9th Street eastbound to US 61-151 southbound ramp. Should traffic miss the 9th
Street detour, a secondary detour will be in -place for southbound Central Avenue
vehicles to take 4th Street to northbound White to East 9th Street.
It is anticipated that the local road detour will be in effect from approximately July to
October 2022.
1 concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
