The Iowa Department of Transportation said today (Wednesday), road construction work will cause the closure of Iowa 83 in both directions in Avoca from Friday, October 28th, through Thursday, November 3rd, weather permitting. The closure will be in place between U.S. 59 and Pottawattamie County Road M-47. A detour will be in place. 
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations can more than double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles and wear seat belts.
