The intersection of 110th Street and Locust Avenue is closed northwest of Kalona as of today.

According to the Washington County Engineer’s Office, the intersection is closed while crew reconstruct two reinforced box culverts. The work consists of removing existing structures, replacing them with the box culverts, and grading work to improve the foreslopes. Improved safety is the goal of the project, as the foreslopes will be improved and there will be a larger turning radii. The project was awarded to Iowa Bridge and Culvert, L.C. of Washington for $185,971.65. Work is expected to take about a month and a half, depending on the weather.
