Watch for lane reductions at the intersection of Eastern Ave and Locust St beginning June 5 for intersection improvements. Initially, travel will be head-to-head on the north side of Locust through the intersection. There will be no north or southbound travel on Eastern south of the intersection.
The improvement project will reconstruct the entire intersection and include ADA signal and sidewalk updates, as well as water main upgrades by Iowa American Water Company.
Once work in the southern portion of the intersection is complete, work will flip to the north lanes and restrict movement through the intersection on the northern side of Eastern.
All work is estimated to be complete by late August.
Consider an alternative route to avoid travel delays.
