Paving operations on C38 and T77 are completed NW of Waverly.

We have a few items left to complete for that project to be finalized: Pavment markings and shoulder rock will still need to be installed, we will update the schedule on those items when we have dates. Due to restrictions in working near the Railroad, the contractor will also have to return and complete that short stretch of paving when we have clearance from them to do that work.

60 mph speed limit change:
We have been working over the past weeks to evaluate our roads for the 60 mph statutory speed limit change, which goes into effect tomorrow. The vast majority of Bremer County secondary roads meet requirements to have a 60 mph speed limit in place, and we will begin changing signage tomorrow morning,

Please note that if the signs have not been changed to reflect a 60 mph speed limit, the speed limit will remain (and be enforced) based on the existing signage. This clarification and guidance comes from the state and should be how things are enforced statewide.

Beginning next week, portions of V21 north and east of Waverly will be closed for culvert repairs. We have 9 culverts to replace between City Limits and 188 (140th St) over the next couple months. Closures will move with the projects and there will be advance warning signs (Road Closed Ahead) when you get close. Please allow time for detours or plan for an alternate route. These areas will be temporarily maintained with gravel until a patching crew comes in later this summer to fix. All of this is in preparation for paving this stretch next summer.
