After four deaths caused by vehicle wrecks in the past 11 years, the Iowa Department of Transportation has turned the intersection of Wapsi Avenue and Highway 22 north of Lone Tree into a four-way stop.

This week, Iowa DOT installed rumble panels and signs making it a permanent four-way stop. DOT Transportation Planner Hèctor Torres-Cacho says work was completed Thursday afternoon. The most recent fatal wreck on Highway 22 and Wapsi Avenue took the life of Barthelemy Elson in December 2016. Marlene Eden and James Kelsey were killed in a two-car collision in 2006, and Melissa Ann Brendes was killed in a two-vehicle accident in 2007.
