Closures & Delays

Thursday, September 24th, 2026

Road Closures:

U.S. 18 between Hartley and the east O’Brien County line — from Vine Avenue to 100th Avenue — is closing Monday, September 28th, 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.
