NEW HAMPTON, Iowa – July 29, 2024 – If you drive on Iowa 76 north of Waukon you need to be aware of upcoming construction work that may slow down your trip.

Beginning on Monday, Aug. 5, until late August, weather permitting, crews will need to intermittently close lanes from Waukon to the Minnesota state line so micro-surfacing work can be done to the pavement. You will travel through the work zone with the assistance of flaggers and a pilot car.

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.

The latest traveler information is available anytime through our 511 system. Visit 511ia.org; call 511 (within Iowa) or 800-288-1047 (nationwide); stay connected with 511 on Facebook or X (find links at https://iowadot.gov/511/511-social-media-sites); or download the free app to your mobile device.
