Highway updates

Most roads leading into Iowa City and Coralville are closed or will soon be closed due to flooding, so travel to the university is difficult, particularly from the north and east. Main highways that are closed include:

NORTH
--Interstate 380, closed in Johnson County at Iowa River, and in numerous locations in Cedar Rapids
--Iowa Highway 1, closed in Linn County at Cedar River
--US Highway 6, closed in numerous locations to the north and west
--US Highway 151, closed in Iowa County at Iowa River

EAST
--Interstate 80, closed in Cedar County at Cedar River
--Herbert Hoover Highway, closed in Cedar County at Cedar River
--US Highway 6, closed in Muscatine County at Cedar River
--IA Highway 22, closed in Muscatine County at Cedar River and in Washington County at Iowa River
--IA Highway 92, closed in Muscatine County and Louisa County, though traffic is being routed through detours on local streets in Muscatine and Columbus Junction.

WEST
--US Highway 6, closed in numerous locations to the north and west
--US Highway 30, closed in numerous locations in Linn County

Most other roads leading from the west—including Interstate 80 and Iowa Highway 1—are open for traffic. In addition, Iowa Highway 965 from the north is still open. Traffic is heavy, however, due to closings on other roads.

When traveling from the east, the most direct route is US Highway 34 from Burlington to US Highway 218 at Mt. Pleasant, then north to Iowa City/Coralville. Travelers should know that because of street and bridge closures in Iowa City and Coralville, traffic is extremely heavy in town.
