As construction on the Highway 14 Road diet continues the Iowa Department of Transportation would like to remind residents that the project is anticipated to be completed by early September with weather permitting. According to the Iowa DOT, asphalt milling is scheduled to begin in late July with resurfacing to begin in August and the overlay expected to be complete in mid-August. Knoxville City Manager Aaron Adams tells KNIA/KRLS News as crews begin the overlay part of the project, more crews will be working on Weiler Drive to get it ready to add a left turn lane.

Currently curb and gutter and intake repair is being finished on the project, and crews have begun work on pedestrian ramps and traffic signals. Storm sewer work has started south of Weiler Drive and will be followed with dirt work for the turn lanes. No construction will be performed during the scheduled race events on August 6th through the 8th and August 13th through the 15th.
