County engineer previews road changes, schedules Kirkendall work tour

Des Moines County Board of Supervisors · September 1, 2026

Summary

County Engineer Brian Carter told supervisors about changing alignments near I‑61 north of Minneapolis, an upcoming closure at the Iowa City Road intersection for detour work, and invited supervisors on a short post‑meeting site visit for Kirkendall and Fife roads.

County Engineer Brian Carter briefed the board on roadwork and upcoming detours, urging motorists to be alert in areas where intersections have reopened or closed due to construction. Carter said Pleasant Grove Road remains in progress and that a contractor-controlled closure at the Iowa City Road intersection was likely to occur soon; he said dust control measures for the detour route were in place.

Carter also offered supervisors the option of a short visual work session after the meeting to review Kirkendall and Fife Road conditions and alerted supervisors that landowners in the area had already been notified about impending work. "Pleasant Grove Road is still coming along," Carter said, summarizing the status of that section. The board scheduled a road tour led by Carter to review the sites in person.
