Road Closures:

U.S. 18 between Hartley and the east O’Brien County line — from Vine Avenue to 100th Avenue — will close starting Wednesday, Sept. 16, through Thursday, Oct. 1, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Cherokee construction office.

Crews will close U.S. 18 in both directions to install a scrub seal and perform micro surfacing, part of a pavement maintenance project. When the roadway is closed, drivers will follow a marked detour route using O’Brien County roads M-12, B-20 and M-22.
