I-80 Reroute Alert Near Des Moines | Des Moines News

Drivers west of Des Moines, especially near I-80, brace for major highway changes as a multi-year reconstruction kicks off with the closure of the 60th Street on-ramp through Thanksgiving. Detours now route traffic via University Ave and Grand Prairie Parkway. This $100M+ upgrade expands I-80 from four to six lanes between Grand Prairie and 60th Street, tackling decades of congestion and safety issues. More closures, including overnight work at the West Mixmaster interchange next week, are coming. The Iowa DOT urges patience and caution — this critical project won’t be done until 2029.
