County engineer, supervisors offer temporary 50th Street closure for I-80 bridge deck overlays
Summary
Poweshiek County Engineer Lyle Brehm told supervisors that the Iowa DOT plans two bridge deck overlays on I-80 over 50th Street starting next week; the county agreed to offer a closure from next week through Sept. 14 to facilitate equipment staging while keeping the road open during harvest.
County Engineer Lyle Brehm informed the board on Aug. 6 that the Iowa Department of Transportation plans two bridge deck overlays next week on I-80 where it crosses 50th Street and asked whether the county would consider closing 50th Street under I-80 to stage equipment and provide access. Brehm said he believed the closure request would otherwise run through harvest time.
After discussion, Brehm and the supervisors agreed to recommend closing 50th Street beginning next week and continuing until Sept. 14, a schedule chosen to allow the road to be open during harvest. Brehm will communicate the board's recommendation to the DOT. The minutes do not record any formal motion or vote on the recommendation; it is recorded as an agreed response to the DOT inquiry.
