September Reminders from Road Department

September Reminders from the Road Department

It’s hard to believe with this heat that we are only a couple of weeks away from the start of Fall.  With fall upon us, we have a few reminders from the Road Department. 

• Please be mindful of farm equipment as they start their harvest season.  Stay alert, eliminate distractions, and use extra caution around farm machinery.
• September 30th is the end of the dust control season.  Beginning October 1st, per our policy, https://www.marioncountyiowa.gov/files/permits/dust_control_68005.pdf we begin regular maintenance to ensure the roads are ready for the winter season. 
• Road Notifications for road closures and road work can be found at this link and you may subscribe to receive notifications here. 
  • Vermont drive will be closed for 3 weeks starting around September 11th between 212th Pl. and Hwy 5. 
  • The Army Corp of Engineers has put out a press release that Red Rock Dam will have a full closure starting September 11th for 3 weeks as well, with a detour in place.
