Engineer: Pleasant Grove Road to close Monday for DOT project; drivers should expect detours into September
Summary
Bridal Carter, GMBN engineer, told the board Pleasant Grove Road will close from Iowa City Road to Highway 61 starting Monday for a DOT project likely continuing into September; Carter urged motorists to expect detours and noted temporary signage remains to be installed.
Bridal Carter, a GMBN engineer, told the board that Pleasant Grove Road will close Monday between Iowa City Road and Highway 61 and that the closure will affect travel patterns.
"Monday, the 1st coming up, Pleasant Grove Road should close...Probably be closed until sometime into September, if I had to guess," Carter said, adding that the DOT is still placing some curve and temporary signs and that paving windows are short.
Carter said some local access will remain for residents but recommended drivers expect to use the interchange and alternate routes while the DOT completes the project. She also said crews will start ancillary work (pest control, ditching) in anticipation of increased traffic on alternate routes.
The board noted the closure will impact school and bus routes and asked staff to monitor signage and update the public on route changes.
