I-380,
I-80 Detours Remain in Effect
Posted 16 June 2008
The north- and southbound lanes of Interstate 380 (also U.S. 218/Iowa
27) in Johnson County remain closed between exit 4 (North Liberty) and
exit 10.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says I-380 may not reopen
until the end of this week.
The DOT says the reopening depends on additional rain and any damage
discovered to the roadway.
As a reminder, Interstate 80 is closed at milepost 266 and westbound
traffic is being detoured at Davenport north on U.S. 61 to U.S.
20/Dubuque, west on U.S. 20 to Interstate 35, then south on Interstate
35 to Des Moines.
The Iowa DOT is anticipating heavy traffic, congestion and delays on
the detour route in Dubuque, Delaware and Buchanan counties. Therefore,
the department strongly suggests the following as a way to reduce
problems in the area during this critical time.
Regional and coast-to-coast commercial motor vehicle operators that do
not need to make a stop in Iowa should consider a route that avoids the
state.
Iowa residents should avoid travel on the detour roads, if at all
possible.
Commercial vehicle operators that cannot avoid the area should NOT use
the county roadways as alternative routes.
Additional detour and road closure information can be found at the IDOT
website at http://www.iowadot.org/morgue/news2008/06130811.htm
