Culvert replacement projects under Iowa 202 near Moulton in Appanoose County require closing the road to traffic, beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, July 29, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Mount Pleasant construction office.

Motorists will be directed to use an official off-site detour (see map). The 26.5-mile marked detour will follow Iowa 2, U.S. 63, and Missouri 202. It is anticipated the detour will be in place for approximately a week, weather permitting. Local traffic will have access to Iowa 202 except for the lanes crossing the project area (near Iowa 202 mile markers 4.5 and 5).
