Iowa DOT to Close Westbound I-80 in Des Moines' Western Suburbs Starting Tonight
The Iowa Department of Transportation announced that westbound I-80 in the western suburbs of Des Moines will close for nighttime construction from 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18 until 5 a.m. the next morning, weather permitting. Westbound I-80 will then close for three more nights starting the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 27, through the morning of Friday, Oct. 30.
The closure covers the westbound on-ramps at the Southwest Mixmaster, 60th Street (Exit 122) and Jordan Creek Parkway (Exit 121), for subgrade repairs and concrete pavement work. The DOT reminded drivers that the westbound on-ramps will remain closed even after the mainline lanes reopen.
Signed detours will route drivers via University Avenue and Grand Prairie Parkway back to westbound I-80. The DOT advises drivers who use the corridor to plan ahead, watch construction signage at night and slow down through the work zone.
