Ciggy, did you have a stroke today?
Thanks for letting all of us who will be on I-35 at 2 am Friday morning know to be ready for a delay.

Typical Ciggy, no details, just the hysteria and Lib fear mongering.

Lots of traffic on that section of interstate

Can’t get to Ankeny? Sounds like a good thing.

This stretch of I35 has been restricted to traffic ever since Spring. Mostly the closure was done in late afternoon and nights reopening early in the morning. It is a busy stretch of interstate. Someone’s the traffic in 69 would be backed up 2-3 miles at the 4way stop where the closure was taking place. I too have no idea what “construction” is taking place… perhaps a resurface from concrete up?
