A section of dirt road on the east side of Washington County could be closed for the foreseeable future. 

During the heavy rains on Tuesday, April 2, a culvert washed out on 190th Street between Yucca Avenue and Louisa-Washington Road. This section will be closed to through traffic until replacement parts are found to fix the culvert. The closure is expected to continue for a few months. Drivers are encouraged to avoid the area and use alternate routes to get around. 

With any questions, contact the Washington County Engineer’s Office at 319-653-7731.
