Maintenance crews with the Iowa Dept. of Transportation have been dispatched to a pavement blow-up five-miles west of Massena. District 4 Transportation Coordinator Scott Suhr based in Atlantic, told KJAN News the incident was reported at around 7:30-p.m., Friday on Highway 92, near the intersection with 720th Street.

Suhr said crews were paving in the area and moisture in the slab caused a pavement blow-up. He said anytime there is moisture underneath a concrete slab and hot temperatures, which was the case Friday, a steam effect is created, which causes pavement to rise.
