Washington, IA – Drivers in Washington County should prepare for delays Wednesday, October 22, as the County Engineer’s Office closes a section of 190th Street for road improvements.
According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the closure affects 190th Street between Vine Avenue and Yucca Avenue—roughly three miles north of G36 (220th Street). The project involves grading and resurfacing the existing roadway, with access restricted to thru traffic during the work.
The closure is expected to improve driving conditions along the rural route once complete, but officials urge drivers to plan alternate routes and allow for extra travel time in the area. Local traffic will be permitted as needed, though construction crews and equipment will be present throughout the work zone.
Motorists are reminded to obey posted signs and use caution when traveling near road construction sites. The county has not yet announced when 190th Street will reopen.
