AMES, Iowa – April 4, 2019 –  There are very few quick fixes related to the flood-damaged roads in Southwest Iowa, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation. An updated map is now available on https://floods2019.iowa.gov/ (and shown below), detailing where the Iowa DOT and its partners are in the process of assessing and repairing the damage to Interstates 29 and 680, U.S. 34, and Iowa 2.

As officials continue to assess damage and work on recovery, consideration is given to the impacts of future flooding potential. The Iowa DOT says it is working closely with the Army Corps of Engineers to safely restore mobility not only for today but also to meet future needs.
