Update on Area Road ClosuresRelated Content
Flooding from recent heavy rains and the Lake Delhi dam breach continues to cause state roadways in Eastern Iowa to close, according to Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) officials.
Iowans are urged to closely monitor conditions and never enter a water-covered roadway. Flood waters can force a vehicle off the roadway. In addition, it is not uncommon for roadways and shoulders to be damaged when flooded, presenting unsafe conditions for motorists. If you encounter a flooded area, turn around and find an alternative route. National Weather Service flood warnings remain in effect in Black Hawk, Boone, Bremer, Buchanan, Buena Vista, Butler, Cedar, Clayton, Clay, Clinton, Dallas, Delaware, Des Moines, Dickinson, Fremont, Greene, Hamilton, Humboldt, Iowa, Jackson, Johnson, Jones, Keokuk, Lee, Linn, Louisa, Mahaska, Marshall, Muscatine, Plymouth, Polk, Scott, Sioux, Van Buren, Wapello, and Webster counties. In addition to the state highway closures and restrictions listed below, many county roads and city streets are flooded or have been damaged by flood waters in Eastern Iowa.
