Iowa D-O-T Planner Scott Suhr says there has been a change in the plans with regard to eastbound traffic during the Highway 6/7th Street construction project, in Atlantic. Suhr says the East “Road Closed” barricade on US 6 has been moved to the west of Orcheln’s east driveway to accommodate access into the businesses during the first phase of the project.

Motorists wanting to access businesses east of Orcheln’s may do so by using US 6 /7th Street from the east. This will be in place until the west part of the project has been completed. The Plum street access will be closed until the west half of the project has been completed. This condition will remain in place until sometime in mid- July.
