(Red Oak) If you drive on U.S. 34 between G Avenue and Iowa 48 in Red Oak you need to be aware of an upcoming construction project that may slow down your trip.
Beginning on Monday, April 28, until Friday, May 16, weather permitting, crews will temporarily close U.S. 34 between G Avenue and Iowa 48 so they can remove and replace the concrete pavement and turning lanes at the intersection of U.S. 34 and Iowa 48.
While the roadway is closed you will follow a marked detour route for east- and westbound U.S. 34 using G Avenue, 200th Street, Iowa 48, and U.S. 34.
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.
