Project update: Williams Blvd and Dean Road

Williams Blvd and Dean Road Roundabout

Project Update | June 4, 2020

We wanted to provide you with an update on the roundabout construction taking place at Williams Blvd and Dean Road.

The temporary frontage road is in place, and the contractor is now currently working on grading and subbase before the new road can go in. Weather pending, this work will continue for the next several weeks. Once completed, work will begin on the new roadway surface; we anticipate placing new asphalt by mid-July. The roundabout is still on track to be completed by sometime this August.

HWY 151 remains closed between Beverly Road / Stoney Point Road and just south of Dean Road as part of Iowa DOT improvements.

Residents can continue using 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.
