Northbound to Westbound Traffic from I-380 to Boyson Road Will Close on Monday, October 6

MANCHESTER, Iowa – Oct. 3, 2025 – If your travels in Hiawatha take you from northbound Interstate 380 to westbound Boyson Road, you need to be aware of an upcoming project that may slow down your trip.

The Iowa DOT Manchester construction office announces that the northbound to westbound traffic movement at the I-380 and Boyson Road interchange will be closing on Monday, Oct. 6, for approximately one week, weather permitting. The northbound exit ramp will remain open to traffic, however travelers taking the exit can only turn right (east) from the ramp during this time. 

During the closure of the northbound to westbound traffic movement, a detour will be in place to direct motorists wishing to access westbound Boyson Road to turn around at the Tower Terrace Interchange (exit 26).

The Iowa DOT reminds motorists to drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, drivers should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
