The rains that have continued to inundate Iowa, and the midwest, are also having a big impact on roads, including I-29 in western Iowa. Parts of that interstate are closed again, just three weeks after being reopened following a lengthy closure. And, it's not just Iowa that is seeing portions of the interstate closed.

The Iowa Department of Transportation has closed I-29 in these locations:

  • Council Bluffs (local detour in place)
  • From U.S. 34 to the Missouri Border
  • From Exit 61 to Exit 71

The photo at the top is from an IDOT camera on I-29, about 15 miles north of the Iowa/Missouri border. That is the portion of the interstate now closed between U.S. 34 and the Missouri border. The same area of I-29 was closed due to flooding from March until May 8.

The photo below is from an IDOT camera near Honey Creek, north of Council Bluffs, along I-29. That portion of the interstate is also closed.

Please, Mother Nature, turn off the faucet. Please.
