RESOLUTION APPROVING IDOT DETOUR AGREEMENT

FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) has scheduled a 2027
construction project in the westbound lanes of US 30 in Ames between South Dayton
Avenue and South Duff Avenue. To complete the construction project, the westbound
interchange ramp at Dayton Avenue (ramp C) along US 30 will be temporarily closed
between January 2 and September 15, 2027, and the westbound interchange ramp at
Duff Avenue (ramp A) along US 30 will be temporarily closed between January 2 and
April 15, 2027.; and,
WHEREAS, to accommodate traffic during construction, the IDOT has proposed
detouring vehicles onto local roads. The City has been asked to enter into an Agreement
for Use of Local Agency Roads as Detours. The designated detour route includes SE 16th
Street from South Dayton Avenue to US 69. The closure and detours are marked on the
agreement.
WHEREAS, the Public Works Traffic Division will continually monitor and adjust
signal timings as needed during the detour period. City staff will work closely with the
Contractor, Peterson Contractors Inc., on project timing and efforts that can be
undertaken to accommodate the particularly heavy traffic in this area related to Iowa State
University football game days.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the IDOT Detour Agreement for the US 30 Pavement Project is hereby
approved.
ADOPTED THIS 25th day of August, 2026.
