Closed Routes Around Cedar Rapids and Iowa City

Here is an article from GazetteOnline.com talking about the closure of part of I380 tonight at 6pm and also other area roads closures.

Interstate 380 bridge over Iowa River to close by 6 p.m. Friday

The Interstate 380 bridge over the Iowa River will be closed by 6 p.m., forcing the road to close between the North Liberty and Swisher interchanges.

The water is already approaching the roadway and the road may need to be closed sooner. Anyone who needs to use the road for an evacuation should do so immediately.

The closure will last for a week as water will cover lanes in both directions, officials said.
