Drivers who travel on Iowa 144 need to be aware of an upcoming asphalt crack filling project that could delay travel.
Beginning Wednesday, May 10, weather permitting, construction crews will work on crack filling on Iowa 144 from Iowa 141 near Perry to Greene County Road E-57 near Rippey weekdays from 8 am. to 7 pm until Thursday, June 1. Drivers will be assisted through the work zone with the use of flaggers and a pilot car. A 12-foot lane-width restriction will be in place during this project.
Help keep everyone on the road safer. 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, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
