Beginning Monday morning, March 26, weather permitting, work will begin on the two-year Iowa 58/Viking Road interchange project in Cedar Falls. The initial work requires lane closures on both Iowa 58 and Viking road to place temporary pavement and temporary traffic signals needed for future traffic shifts necessary for the different stages of construction, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s New Hampton construction office.
The lane closures will result in traffic congestion that will cause traffic backups and delays during peak times. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes to avoid the congestion.
The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
