Northwest Iowa — It’s been said that Iowa has two seasons — snow removal and road construction. It looks like we’re done with snow, so it’s time for road construction.
We talked with Dakin Schultz, who is a transportation planner with the Iowa Department of Transportation. He says there are a few construction projects in and around the Sheldon area planned for this year.
Schultz says the Iowa Transportation Commission has proposed another six bridge deck overlays in northwest Iowa.
He says the other bridge decks are in the Rock Valley area. Schultz says the work on Highway 18 will continue next year.
He says there are also construction projects planned on other highways.
He tells us what to expect in the construction zones.
He says the only detour in the area this year will be the one in the Spencer area.
Schultz says there are no major construction projects planned in the Iowa Great Lakes Area, or in Osceola or Lyon Counties this year.
