Project update: Williams Blvd and Dean Road

Williams Blvd and Dean Road Roundabout

Project Update | March 27, 2020

We wanted to provide you with an update on the construction taking place at Williams Blvd and Dean Road. Work on the frontage road is nearing completion.

Starting on Monday, March 30 , the intersection of Williams Blvd and Dean Road will close as work transitions to construction of the roundabout. HWY 151 closures are also in effect between Beverly Road / Stoney Point Road and just south of Dean Road as part of Iowa DOT improvements.

Residents can use the intersection of Stoney Point Road and Dean Road to access their neighborhood.

A temporary access road has also been constructed for the local gas station and retirement community.

Work on the roundabout is scheduled to be completed this August. We will continue to send you updates on any major changes to traffic flow.

About the Project

To improve safety and efficiency, the City of Cedar Rapids will be constructing a roundabout at the intersection of Williams Boulevard and Dean Road SW. Roundabouts have been shown to significantly reduce speeds and reduce, or eliminate, the number and severity of crashes.

Construction is scheduled to begin March 2020 and last approximately the entire summer. Dean Road SW will be closed at Highway 151 (Williams Blvd) during the project. Neighborhood access will be available via the intersection of Stoney Point Road and Dean Road.
