Detour Route and Map

Traffic on US 30 will be maintained in both directions during the majority of the project; however, motorists may see short-term intermittent lanes closures. 

Traffic will be detoured for up to two months during the removal of the existing bridges and when connecting the new roadway to the existing US 30 roadway. 

The detour will use Toronto Street North, 130th Avenue, 202nd Street, 118th Avenue (County Rd Y-32), 180th Street, 150th Avenue, 190th Street (County Rd E-63) and 170th Avenue (County Rd Y-440).

Private entrances will remain open to local traffic during construction. 

Detour is subject to change closer to construction.
