Huxley, IA – Commuters traveling through Story County will soon see smoother drives along one of Iowa’s busiest corridors. The long-anticipated I-35 and IA-210 interchange is expected to open by the end of the day Wednesday, November 26, 2025, pending favorable weather conditions.
According to DSM Interstates, crews are wrapping up final touches on the project, marking a major milestone in improving safety and traffic flow for motorists connecting between Huxley, Slater, and the Des Moines metro area.
The project has been underway for months, aiming to reduce congestion and provide easier access to I-35, especially during peak travel periods. Local officials say the new interchange will help prevent backups on nearby rural routes and improve overall travel times through central Iowa.
The Story County Sheriff’s Office also shared the update Monday, calling the news “great” as drivers prepare for one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
If weather delays occur, DSM Interstates says the opening could shift slightly, but they remain optimistic that the interchange will be operational before Thanksgiving weekend traffic ramps up.
