Detours May Not Be All That Bad As Other Routes Will Be Available
A Des Moines Register observer reports Moravia may face detours this summer with several usable alternate routes to Centerville Rathbun dam and Hilton church. Crews on Hwy 5 from Rathbun to Centerville aim to rock and open quickly. Lake traffic can detour via Albia to Hilton church and Honey Creek area. Moravia Unionville pavement work adds inconvenience but short. Town sewer work and cleanup may require financing or a general revenue bond for paving main streets.
