(West Des Moines) A section of I-80 in West Des Moines will be closed. Starting today and Wednesday, eastbound lanes will be shut down from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. The Iowa Department of Transportation has been looking to add more lanes on the interstate near the west side of Des Moines but says the construction will take more nights than predicted. They are working to remove the rumble strips, as residents have complained about driving over them.
