Iowa DOT planning nearly $3 million in Winneshiek County road projects

The Iowa Department of Transportation has announced a five-year road construction plan that includes $3 million in road projects in Winneshiek County in 2016 and 2017.

The draft plan still needs to win the approval of the Iowa Transportation Commission, which will vote on the $3.2 billion statewide package on June 9th.

If the draft plan is approved, the State DOT would do $2,933,000 in road work on state highways in Winneshiek County in the next two years.

Slated for 2016 construction is a project to rehab not quite two miles of HIghway 52 in Calmar, including the Highways 24/52/150 intersection.

Slated for 2017 construction would be a $1.4 million project to redo the Highway 9/52 intersection in Decorah and a separate project to do a pavement overlay on a bridge deck on Highway 9, two miles each of Highway 52, over the Trout Creek.
