As drivers are traveling during this Memorial Day weekend, motorists should be mindful of a road construction project on Highway 218.
According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, Norris Asphalt Paving is performing a hot mix asphalt resurfacing project on the northbound lanes of Highway 218 from approximately a half mile north of Highway 92 to 192nd Street, a total of 5.77 miles. Through traffic is being maintained at all times, with temporary alternating lane closures occurring within the project limits. Drivers should prepare for slower traffic in the construction area. Work completion is anticipated by June 1, weather permitting.
