Overnight drivers moving through the Cedar Rapids metro area on Interstate 380 will have to find different routes next week.

I-380 from Highway 100 to County Home Road will see northbound and southbound closures throughout the week for the installation of beams for a new north bridge over the interstate, according to a city of Hiawatha press release.

Due to the closures, all traffic will be rerouted to state highways.

The northbound lanes of I-380 will be closed from Highway 100 to County Home Road from 10:30 p.m. Monday to 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The southbound lanes will be closed from County Home Road to Boyson Road from 10:30 p.m. Wednesday to 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

During the closures, there will be a marked detour route for interstate traffic using Highway 100, Highway 13 and County Home Road that takes traffic around the Cedar Rapids metro area instead of through it.

Those needing to use the route should expect delays in travel, the city release said.
