(Atlantic, Iowa) – Iowa Department of Transportation District 4 Planner, Scott Suhr, reports several projects have already started, and some are finishing-up from last Fall. Others will be underway in the weeks to come.

Locally, one of the projects affects traffic on Highway 6 over the East Nishnabotna River, 2.6-miles east of Highway 48. .

Suhr said the Highway 92 project will probably take about three-to-four months to complete. It’s located over Seven Mile Creek 1.7-miles west of Highway 71. A pair of projects are set to kick-off beginning April 3^rd. One is in Guthrie County.

Scott Suhr says another project is on Highway 44, near Portsmouth.

In District 4’s southwest Iowa 17 county area, there are at least 50 projects going on, not including maintenance projects (sealing/patching), railroad crossing replacement and so on, that utilize federal funds on the state and highway interstate system. One of the projects is on I-80 in Cass County.
