A stretch of Iowa Highway 92 near Delta in Keokuk County will close for construction beginning Monday, August 31st and is expected to remain closed through mid-October, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Fairfield construction office.
Beginning at 7:00 a.m. on August 31st, Iowa 92 between Iowa 21 and Keokuk County Road V-33 will be closed so crews can replace two culvert crossings in that stretch. Drivers who regularly use that portion of the road should plan for delays and allow extra travel time.
While the roadway is closed, drivers should follow the marked detour route using Iowa 21, East 6th Street in Delta, and Keokuk County Road V-33.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limits and other signs in the work zone, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least doubled in work zones. Drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts throughout the detour area.
