The Iowa Department of Transportation reports that on Wednesday, Dec. 19th, a contractor will shift southbound Interstate 29 traffic in Sioux City off a detour route.  At 9-a.m., the left lane of southbound I-29 will be closed for the application of pavement marking. Later in the morning, Wednesday, the contractor will reopen the left lane and close the right lane, as well as the southbound exit and entrance ramps at Exit 149/Hamilton Boulevard.

While the southbound I-29 right lane is closed, southbound I-29 traffic exiting to Hamilton Boulevard will exit at the southbound Virginia Street exit to Floyd Boulevard and continue to northbound I-29 to Exit 148/Wesley Parkway. Ramp traffic from Hamilton Boulevard to southbound I-29 will go through Wesley Parkway to enter southbound I-29 until pavement markings are completed. Each ramp will reopen as soon as traffic control at that location is complete.
