The eastern half of the Asbury Rd. and Northwest Arterial intersection is expected to close on Tuesday, July 26. The contractor is required to complete the reconstruction of the intersection before school starts in August 2022.

• The detour route for Asbury Rd. westbound traffic east of the arterial is John F. Kennedy Rd. to the Northwest Arterial to Asbury Rd.
  
  
• Northwest Arterial southbound traffic north of the intersection may turn right onto Asbury Rd. to travel westbound. 
  
  
• Asbury Rd. eastbound traffic west of the intersection may turn right onto the Northwest Arterial to travel southbound.
  
  
• Northbound and southbound traffic on the arterial will be maintained.

Residents and businesses on the detour routes should prepare for increased traffic during the closure. 

After the eastern half of Asbury Rd. intersection is completed, the repaving of the southbound lanes of the Northwest Arterial from U.S. 20 to John F. Kennedy Rd. will begin. To maintain traffic flow through the corridor as much as possible, the contractor is required to conduct all work on the southbound lanes at night between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. There will be lane shifts to accommodate construction. The estimated completion date of the southbound lane repaving is November 15, 2022.

These improvements are part of the Northwest Arterial State of Good Repair Project. For details, visit www.cityofdubuque.org/nwarterial.
