U.S. 65 north of Iowa 330 in Jasper, Story counties to close Monday for road construction

A road construction project on U.S. 65 north of Iowa 330 in Jasper and Story counties will require closing the roadway to traffic in both directions beginning at 6:30 a.m. Monday until approximately 4 p.m. Aug. 24, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Marshalltown construction office.

During this closure, traffic will be detoured around the work zone using Jasper County Highway F22, Story/Jasper County Road S27 and Iowa Highway 210.

The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to 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. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
