A section of 170th Street north of Audubon will be closed until further notice while crews complete a bridge replacement project. The one-mile stretch between Heron Avenue and U.S. Highway 71 was closed at 7:30 a.m. this (Tuesday) morning and will be impassable to thru-traffic. The projected end date for construction is Friday, Dec. 31. Residences will still be accessible on 170th Street from the east, but all other motor vehicle traffic will need to use alternate routes for the duration of the project. Questions about this or any other road construction in the county can be directed to the Audubon County Road Department at 712-563-4286 or through the email addresses included below.
