NORTH LIBERTY — The Iowa Department of Transportation is closing the northbound I-380 ramp at Penn Street beginning June 10 for three months, pending any construction delays.
The closure is part of the DOT’s work to replace the Penn Street bridge and add additional lanes from Penn Street in North Liberty up past Swan Lake Road, as well as improvements at Wright Brothers Boulevard in Cedar Rapids.
The entire project, which is estimated to cost a little over $100 million, is expected to be completed in 2027.
Drivers at the Penn Street northbound ramp will be detoured south toward Forevergreen Road and will enter I-380 northbound from there.
