Removal and replacement of a pipe culvert two miles west of Lawler on Iowa 24 in Chickasaw County requires closing the roadway to traffic beginning on Monday, April 26, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s New Hampton construction office.

During this project, motorists will follow a marked detour route using U.S. 63/U.S. 18, and Chickasaw County roads B-54 and V-48.

This project is expected to be completed by mid-May, weather permitting.
