(Arnolds Park)– An informational meeting was held Wednesday evening for what will be the fourth and final phase of work on Highway 71 through the lakes corridor. Darwin Bishop, a construction engineer with the Iowa Department of Transportation’s office in Sioux City, says the work this fall will be pretty straight forward…
If things go accordingly and the weather allows, Bishop says the paving could be done already by early November…
Bishop says the project going into this phase is ahead of the original time frame…
Bishop notes, however, some crews will likely be back in the spring…
Bishop adds some of the traffic signal work in the spring will include installation of a left turn signal at Broadway Street for traffic turning north from Broadway onto Highway 71. He says the remainder of the traffic signals at Linden Drive in Arnolds Park will be installed this fall. He says the intent is to have those signals operational in November.
