Prepare for the closure of the eastbound Interstate 80 near West Des Moines on Monday, Dec. 11 and Tuesday, Dec. 12. The closure will span from 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. each night between Grand Prairie Parkway (exit 118) and Jordan Creek Parkway (exit 112) on I-80. This action is necessary for the removal of an overhead truss and installation of a new one, as reported by the Iowa Department of Transportation.
To accommodate the closure, a designated detour will guide drivers using Grand Prairie Parkway, University Avenue, and Jordan Creek Parkway.
“To ensure safety on the road, exercise caution, adhere to speed limits and traffic signs within the construction area. Violations in work zones may result in doubled traffic fines. Stay vigilant, maintain distance between vehicles, and fasten seat belts,” the release emphasized.
For the latest travel updates related to this project and more, Iowa drivers can call 511 or visit the DOT’s website.
