Beginning on Monday, May 13 until late June, weather permitting, crews will close part of U.S. 218 in Vinton so culvert replacement work can take place.
While the roadway is closed and work is taking place, you will follow a marked detour route using Benton County roads E-22 and V-66 and U.S. 218/Iowa 8.
Help keep everyone on the road safer. Drive with caution, obey the posted speed limit and other signs in the work area, and be aware that traffic fines for moving violations are at least double in work zones. As in all work zones, you should stay alert, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear seat belts.
Editor's note: Prepare to take gravel for the detour. If you need to go to Mt. Auburn, the shortest route is to turn right when headed north on 218, crossing the tracks and follow the gravel road. This will take you to the Mt. Auburn blacktop.
To go toward LaPorte take a left, and then hit the nearest gravel road to your right.

Editor's Note: That is the only press release by the IDOT about the construction. I drove out there this morning. The road is closed in front of TJ Gas. I have no idea how far it's closed. There is a map included in the story photos for you to look at. That's the best I can do for ya, sorry!
