The Iowa Department of Transportation’s Council Bluffs construction office reports road construction work on Interstate 80, between the Missouri River bridge at the Iowa state line in Council Bluffs, and Cass County Road M-56 (exit 51) east of Walnut, will cause intermittent lane closures in both directions beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6th, weather permitting.
This project is expected to be completed by late September.
The Iowa DOT’s Creston construction office says Median cable barrier installation work will reduce Interstate 80 to one lane in both directions, between Dallas County roads F-90 and P-58 (exit 106) east of Earlham, and I-35/I-235 (exit 123) in Clive beginning Thursday, Sept. 8th, weather permitting
Eastbound I-80 lanes will be open from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. Mondays through Fridays. Westbound lanes of I-80 will be open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Both directions of I-80 will be open from 3 p.m. Fridays until 9 p.m. Sundays. There is a 16-foot width lane restriction in the open lanes. It’s expected the project will be completed Nov. 8th.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey 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.

The Council Bluffs entrance to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge and major portions of the Council Bluffs Trails System will reopen to the public at 8:00 a.m., Saturday, September 3rd. These areas have been closed due to flooding. To ensure these and other sections can be safely used by the public, the City is closing its trails at dark and advising users to be especially cautious when using the trails.
Although the majority of these trails are in excellent condition, visitors should remain alert to their surroundings and the trail’s surface. The trails along the Missouri River, Indian Creek and Mosquito Creek were especially impacted by the flood. Users of these trails may find sections to be worn and uneven. In other locations, trail users will encounter pipe crossing. These are necessary to accommodate the pumping which will continue along the levee for some time. Bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to proceed slowly and with caution in these areas.
Additionally, the ongoing security, maintenance, inspections and potential construction activities associated with the levees will significantly increase the normal vehicle traffic on the levee trails. As a result, users must be alert to encountering vehicles along the trails. Although the majority of the Council Bluffs trails will reopen on Saturday, some sections cannot be opened to the public until the river level recedes. The trail sections that remain closed are:

Atlantic Coach Chris Jahnke says:
“It was nice to start the season with a win. We have had lots of practice and it was time to get the season going. The team had a few first match hiccups but for the most part they played well. I was most impressed with how the team stayed composed when they fell behind a couple of times. One of our strengths will be how well this team works together. Katie Groves played well on the outside while Nora Walker and Sam McConnell controlled the game from the middle. Our setters, Paige Kennon and Shelby Worth did a nice job of spreading the ball around. We will need to continue to improve each night if we are to reach our goals.”
