Posted on: July 10, 2024
NEW HAMPTON, Iowa – July 10, 2024 – If you drive near the Iowa 27/Iowa 58/Ridgeway Avenue intersection in Cedar Falls you need to be aware of an upcoming traffic pattern change that may slow down your trip.
Beginning on Monday, July 22, weather permitting, crews will switch the head-to-head traffic currently on the westbound lanes of Ridgeway Avenue to the eastbound lanes.
Construction work will then begin taking place on the northbound lane of Nordic Drive, and traffic will only be able to drive north on Nordic Drive in this area until the work is complete. Once the work is finished, additional reconstruction of the westbound lanes of Ridgeway Avenue will occur as well as the southbound lanes of Nordic Drive. This portion of the project is expected to be completed by late-September.

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.
