NEW HAMPTON, Iowa – April 19, 2023 – Drivers on Iowa 58 between Hudson and U.S. 20 in Black Hawk County need to be aware of an asphalt paving and resurfacing project that may slow down their trip beginning on Monday, April 24, weather permitting. Crews will begin staged work by placing a temporary barrier rail on the Iowa 58 bridges over U.S. 20 as they replace the bridge approaches.

Once patching and resurfacing gets underway, intermittent lane closures with flaggers and pilot cars will be in place to assist drivers through the work zone. This project is expected to be completed by late October.

Help keep everyone on the road safer. 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, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
