If you drive on northbound U.S. 218 through Waterloo, be aware of upcoming lane closures that may slow down your trip. Starting Thursday night, June 12, until late October, weather permitting, crews will work on a bridge deck repair project on the northbound U.S. 218 bridge over U.S. 63, located 3.6 miles north of U.S. 20 in Waterloo.
The project will be completed in two stages. During the first stage, traffic will be directed to travel in the outside lane of U.S. 218 for through traffic and have access to the off-ramp at Exit 181B. Message signs will be placed along U.S. 218 before reaching the work zone to notify drivers of the upcoming project.

The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey posted speed limits and other signs in the work area, and note 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.
