It’s a busy fall in Keokuk County for County Engineer Andrew McGuire. There are several road projects underway throughout the county. Crews are currently working on a safety project north of Richland which includes work to widen the shoulders along W-15. McGuire says this project is similar to shoulder work that was done on Highway 1 between Washington and Kalona.

The county is also busy working on bridges. So far four have been repaired, while more bridge work is planned.

McGuire urges drivers to be extra careful when traveling through work zones.
