Interstate 680 Reopens After Flood Recovery Blast
The 3 mile stretch from I-29 to the Missouri River north of Council Bluffs, Iowa, reopened four-lane Interstate 680 after a $19 million flood repair. Crews worked nonstop aided by a $6 million early completion bonus, with about 60,000 worker hours logged and 300 workers on site early on. The project was funded by federal money and involved Peterson Construction Inc. of Reinbeck and Reilly Construction Co. of Ossian, distributing the bonus to dozens of subcontractors.
