A monthslong concrete paving project has begun in Washington County closing portions of some roads north of Brighton and Coppock.

The Washington County Engineer’s Office announces that beginning this week 300th Street about a half mile west from Kiwi Avenue, Kiwi Avenue from 300th to 290th streets, and 290th Street between Highway 1 and Kiwi Avenue are closed for an approximate $1.6 million project contracted by Jones Contracting Corp. of West Point. The project is expected to take about 1.5 months to complete, weather permitting. Any questions may be directed to the engineer’s office at 319-653-7731.
