The winter weather has delayed tree removal in Iowa City.

The Park Road closure will be postponed one week and will now occur on Monday, January 12th and on Wednesday, January 14th.

Park Road will be closed to traffic from Lexington Avenue to Magowan Avenue.

A detour route will be posted and traffic will be directed onto River Street and Riverside Drive. This closure is necessary to accommodate the safe removal of trees located along Park Road in the area and will occur between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. each day. The closure is weather dependent.

Drivers are asked to take another alternate route during this time period. As always, caution should be exercised when traveling in all construction areas.
