Imagine your post-holiday commute suddenly becoming a maze of detours and significant delays! Iowa drivers are bracing for major disruptions as the Iowa Department of Transportation announces multiple overnight closures of northbound Interstate 35, stretching from Ankeny north to Ames. Beginning Sunday, December 28th, and continuing through Tuesday, December 30th, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, key sections of I-35 will be completely shut down. Crews are diligently working to finish removing and installing crucial barrier rails in the median, a project that has already seen three prior nights of intense work. These necessary closures will reroute traffic onto Highway 69 and Highway 30, utilizing various local interchanges, causing potential headaches for unsuspecting travelers. Drivers must navigate these clearly marked detours, with officials strongly urging everyone to check 511ia.org for the latest route changes before heading out. This critical maintenance work is essential for long-term safety but will undoubtedly test the patience of many, turning a straightforward journey into a potentially lengthy diversion.
