I-35 SHUTDOWN! Iowa Drivers Brace for 3 NIGHTS of Travel Chaos!

Are your post-holiday travel plans about to hit a massive roadblock? Starting December 28th, major overnight closures are set to disrupt northbound Interstate 35 between Ankeny and Ames, transforming your routine commute into a lengthy detour. The Iowa Department of Transportation is undertaking critical barrier rail removal and installation, necessitating the closure of northbound I-35 from Northeast 126th Avenue to Highway 30 nightly between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Drivers should brace for three consecutive nights of work through December 30th, weather permitting. This crucial maintenance aims to enhance safety, yet it demands significant adjustments from travelers. Marked detours via Highway 69 and Highway 30 will guide traffic, though routes are subject to change. Always check 511ia.org before heading out to ensure you have the most current information.
