Two eastern Iowa firms have combined to win the low bid to rebuild a portion of interstate 680 in Pottawattamie County.
The 3.1 mile stretch of I-680 extends from Interstate 29 to the Missouri River. It was severely damaged by flooding this spring and summer and will now be rebuilt.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) held a bid letting last Friday for the project. A total of five bids were received. The low bid went to a joint venture between Peterson Contractors Inc. (PCI) of Reinbeck and Reilly Construction. The bid amount was just over 19 million dollars.
The goal of the project is to restore traffic on the I-680 as quickly as possible, aiming for a full or partial reopening later this year.
Jim speaks with Denise Coder (Cass County Health Coordinator) and Amy Jordahl (Atlantic Hy-Vee Store Director) about the healthiest state initiative and the kickoff event in Cass County on Friday, October 7th.

Griswold’s outstanding freshman, Rebekah Topham, continues to set the standard for harriers in Southwest Iowa. She topped all runners at the Cyclone Invitational held at Harlan on Saturday marking her fifth meet victory of the year. Topham ran an impressive 14:14 to win the meet. Even with the outstanding effort of Topham, the Lady Tigers had to settle for third place behind Harlan and Lewis Central. Lewis Central and Griswold actually tied for second place, but Griswold moved to third on the tie breaker. Contributing to Lady Tiger team effort were Jordyn Sindt, 8th; Larissa Backhaus, 19th; Alyx Flippin, 24th; and Allison Young, 28th. Topham is undefeated on the season and the Griswold squad has not lost to a 1A or 2A team.
It was Xavier Olivio setting the pace for the Griswold boys’ team. He placed 29th in the field of 98 runners. His time was 18:39. Also scoring for the boys were: Tyrel Peters (74), Mason Anstey (81), Jacob Maass(83), and Zak Doty (85). The team finished 13th.
