Bridge at Lansing closing for a week
The Iowa 9/Black Hawk Bridge at Lansing will be closed for about one week beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, April 15, for a project to remove and replace several structural steel pieces, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s New Hampton construction office.
Message signs will be in place along state highway routes in both Iowa and Wisconsin to alert motorists of the pending road and bridge closure.
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.
