Iowa DOT announces partial re-opening of I-29 and I-680
ATLANTIC, Iowa (WOWT) – Iowa Department of Transportation announced Wednesday a partial re-opening of Interstate 29 and I-680.
Following the closures of I-29 and I-680 amidst the flooding of the Missouri River, the Iowa DOT is announcing re-openings of the two roadways, though there will still be intermittent lane closures and head-to-head traffic. All lanes will be open on I-29 south of I-680.
Iowa DOT also reminds drivers that the westbound I-29 on-ramp from Crescent remains closed.
Currently, flood waters do remain in the area, and they ward drivers to never drive over roads that are still covered in water. Drivers are also reminded not to go around barricades or fencing, as they are there to keep drivers away from flood waters.
If you have any questions, Iowa road closures are updated regularly on their 511 website, and to download the Iowa 511 app on whatever devices are available to them. You can also contact the Iowa DOT for any general information at 712-388-6893.
