Airport Road Eastbound Lane Closure

Starting Monday, October 14, both eastbound lanes on Airport Road will close for pavement removal from South Riverside Drive to east of University Boulevard, weather permitting. Traffic will be shifted to the westbound lanes, allowing one lane in each direction.

Iowa Earth Works is handling the pavement removal, with All Star Concrete managing underground improvements. The project is expected to last three weeks.

All businesses on Airport Road will remain accessible, and the shared-use path will stay open. Motorists are advised to expect construction activity and allow extra travel time. Please exercise caution in the area.
