SIOUX CITY, Iowa – June 24, 2024 – If you travel on northbound Interstate 29 near Sloan you need to be aware of a short-term closure/detour of northbound I-29 from 6 p.m. tonight until midnight, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s District 3 Office.

This scheduled closure of northbound I-29 will allow crews to safely place girders for the new bridge over I-29. The first closure at this location took place on Monday night, June 17, and tonight’s closure is the last of two closures needed to place girders.

As you approach the work zone you will be safely routed around the construction work using the ramps at the I-29/Iowa 141 interchange (exit 127) in Sloan.

The Iowa DOT reminds 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, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
