A project to replace a culvert on Iowa 9, 0.5 miles east of Worth County Road S-62 near Grafton, requires closing the roadway to traffic beginning at 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 5, until Tuesday, May 18, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Mason City construction office.

During this project, motorists will be detoured around the work zone by traveling north on Worth County Road S-62/Warbler Avenue for approximately 3 miles, east on 390th Street for 3 miles, south on Worth County Road S-70/Balsam Avenue for 3 miles, and then back onto Iowa 9.
