DOT Eyes Six Lane I-80 Expansion From Johnson County To West Branch
Iowa DOT planners consider widening I-80 to six lanes through Johnson County up to West Branch with a possible bridge replacement at the West Branch overpass. After a dump truck damaged the overpass deck, officials shifted to a total replacement plan with deck repair and beam replacement funded by grants. Construction could begin next summer with possible nine to 18 months of closure and traffic realignment options under study.
