Paullina, Iowa — If you travel on Highway 10 west of Paullina you’ll probably want to be aware of a bridge replacement project that may impact your travel.
The Iowa Department of Transportation tells us that weather permitting, they’d like to start on the bridge work at 7 a.m. on Monday, May 1st. The project will last the entire construction season. They hope to wrap up the work by Thursday, November 16th, weather permitting.
While the roadway is closed, the DOT tells us that drivers will be detoured around the work zone using Iowa 143 and O’Brien County roads B-62 and L-48.
DOT officials tell us they’d like your help to keep everyone on the road safer. Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. The DOT advises that as in all work zones, you should “stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.”
