CRESTON, Iowa – Oct. 9, 2023 – The Iowa Department of Transportation’s Creston Construction Office says “If you drive on U.S. 59 north of Shenandoah you need to be aware of a bridge replacement project that begins on Monday, Oct. 16 at 8 a.m. until Aug. 1, 2024, that may slow down your trip. U.S. 59 will be closed one mile north of Iowa 48. While crews work on this project you will need to follow a marked detour route from Iowa 48 to U.S. 34.”

The DOT asks motorists to drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
