Road Construction Detour Details

Click for massive growth!  No pills necessary!!!

The current state of road construction at the HWY 30 and HWY 1 intersection has HWY 1 northbound blocked off so that you can't turn onto it from HWY 30.  Since the "official" detour will take you way off into the Narnian outback, here is my proposed "unofficial" detour.  See map above for reference.  If you're one of the folks coming from Dubuque, just take HWY 151 to HWY 1 and head south.  The road construction won't affect you.

Coming from Iowa City/Coralville (North on HWY 1)

• Take HWY 1 North to HWY 30.  
• Turn left (West) on HWY 30
• Turn right (North) on 10th Ave S.  This intersection is now a roundabout.
• Turn right (East) on Palisades road.
• Turn left (North) on 1st Ave (HWY 1)
• Follow to the start/finish area at the Webster street intersection.  If you get to the railroad tracks you've gone two blocks too far.

Coming from Cedar Rapids (East on HWY 30):

• At the roundabout, turn North on 10th Ave S
• Turn right (East) on Palisades road.
• Turn left (North) on 1st Ave (HWY 1)
• Follow to the start/finish area at the Webster street intersection.  If you get to the railroad tracks you've gone two blocks too far.

Coming from Marion/Dubuque (South on HWY 1):

•  No worries about the detour.  Just come south on HWY 1.  The start/finish is before the road construction.

Coming from Clinton (West on HWY 30)

•  Continue through HWY 30/HWY 1 intersection
• Turn right (North) on 10th Ave S.  This intersection is now a roundabout.
• Turn right (East) on Palisades road.
• Turn left (North) on 1st Ave (HWY 1)
• Follow to the start/finish area at the Webster street intersection.  If you get to the railroad tracks you've gone two blocks too far.

For you folks staying at one of the hotels in town, they are both currently affected by the road construction.  If you can get to the HWY 30/HWY 1 intersection though, it's fairly trivial to get into the hotels.  If you have any questions, leave a comment or send me an email.
