AMES, Iowa - Iowa Department of Transportation officials have reopened Interstate 29 between exit 61 near Crescent and exit 71 near Loveland. At this time, I-29 is open in both directions throughout Iowa, however motorists may encounter occasional lane closures. Exit 66 at Honey Creek will remain closed due to flooding.
DOT officials will continue to monitor the situation closely, but roadways may close quickly in this area due to high waters. Travelers are urged to check www.511ia.org for the most recent closure information.
Flood-related closures remain on Iowa 275 and Iowa 333 near Hamburg.
Relying on phone or in-vehicle navigation systems may not be reliable as closure changes happen rapidly and navigation systems can route traffic through areas not designed for heavy or some types of traffic.
