Iowa Department of Transportation is releasing its plans for the Highway 9 & 52 intersection in Decorah

(From the Iowa Department of Transportation)

Proposed improvements to the Highways 9 & 52 intersection in Decorah are being unveiled.

The Iowa Department of Transportation has announced that it will hold a public informational meeting on Wednesday, November 2nd, to discuss the proposed improvements of the U.S. 52/Iowa 9 intersection within the city limits of Decorah in Winneshiek County.

Iowa DOT District 2 design engineer Nick Humpal tells decorahnews.com, "The intersection configuration very closely duplicates today's intersection.  The noticeable change when completed will be the removal of the raised stop sign islands and median being replaced with painted islands.  By eliminating the raised islands this will provide us an opportunity to improve the conditions of the turning movements for trucks through the intersection."
