The Iowa Department of Transportation is requesting public input for a proposed bridge replacement on Iowa 57 over a drainage ditch, approximately 2.1 miles east of the east junction with Iowa 14 in Butler County.


The proposed project involves replacing the existing 50’ x 30’ steel deck girder bridge with a triple 12’ x 9’ reinforced concrete box.

Construction of the project is expected to begin in 2023.


Through traffic on Iowa 57 would be detoured using Iowa 14 and Butler County Roads C-55 and T-47. For more information, see the website listed below.  

For general information or to make a comment regarding the proposed bridge project, contact Pete Hjelmstad, field services coordinator, Iowa DOT District 2 Office, 428 43rd St. SW, Mason City, Iowa 50401, phone 641-423-7584 or 800-477-4368, email pete.hjelmstad@iowadot.us.
