(Radio Iowa) – Blizzard conditions have shut down roadways and travel is not recommended in many areas of western and northwestern Iowa this afternoon.
D-O-T Winter Operations Director Craig Bargfrede says if you draw a line from just north of Council Bluffs into the Missouri Valley area, and then do a diagonal up through Carroll Ford dodge Mason City, that’s where they see the largest impact. Interstate 29 is closed in both directions between Sergeant Bluff and Missouri Valley. Bargfrede says they are working on getting some of the vehicles there removed as there are power lines down on the interstate. He says electric crews can’t get in to work on the power lines until they get cars out of the way.
Bargfrede says they have not pulled any crews off the roadways and are continuing to work to get roads open.
