The roadway and utility improvements scheduled for this year will result in phased closures of Highway 150 through Independence from 1^st Street (At Northeast Security Bank) to 8^th Street (near the South Pole Barber Shop).

The Contractor intends to install the Highway 150 Local Traffic Detour and close the southern 3 blocks of the project on March 29.  Message Boards will be installed today at both ends of the project to notify motorists of the upcoming closure.  Clicking on "Additional Info" will show the local traffic detour routes that will be in place throughout the duration of the project.  The Iowa DOT is scheduled to install a “Global Detour” for through-traffic on Highway 150 to be directed around the City of Independence.
