Southern Grama Road closing Monday; county warns of detours and traffic impacts
Summary
County engineer Brian Carter said Southern Grama Road will close Monday from the Iowa City Road intersection to Highway 61 for a DOT project, likely until September; temporary detours and signage will be used, and the county is coordinating with landowners and the DOT.
Brian Carter, the county engineer, told the board that Southern Grama Road is scheduled to close Monday from the Iowa City Road intersection to Highway 61 as part of an Iowa DOT project. He warned that the closure will change local travel patterns, will likely last into September, and advised residents to use the interchange or alternate county routes; local access for residents will be maintained where possible.
Carter said temporary signage is in place but the DOT is still installing some signs, and that heavy vehicles may not always follow posted detours. He also described coordination with landowners for future phases of the project and said county equipment crews will work on patching and ditching as the soil dries.
The engineer noted he will not be at the next board meeting and that the county—s deputy will attend in his stead to provide updates while construction progresses.
