Iowa Department of Transportation traffic engineers say they will close I-29 from milepost 55, 25th Street at the north edge of Council Bluffs, to the I-29/880 interchange near Loveland, Iowa at approximately 11 a.m. Tuesday.
They say the timing will depend on rising flood water levels on the Missouri River.
IDOT also says the portion of I-680 west of I-29 located in Iowa will also be closed at approximately 11 a.m. due to rising flood waters.
A detour will start at the I-29/880 interchange near Loveland, continue east to the I-80/880 interchange, and then southwest on I-80 into Council Bluffs.
If you are driving between Iowa and Nebraska, you should use I-80.
Local traffic in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area should follow the signed detour.
