    The Iowa Department of Transportation’s (Iowa DOT) Britt construction office authorized I-35 ramp closures near Clear Lake for Wednesday, May 7, weather permitting.
    Hot-asphalt pavement work will begin on the northbound outside-lane at exit 193 (Cerro Gordo County Road B-35/Fourth Avenue interchange). Ramp closures will be necessary during the milling and resurfacing work.
    I-35 northbound off-ramp at exit 193 will close early Wednesday morning, and traffic detoured north to the next interchange at exit 194 (U.S. 18/Iowa 22), and then redirected south on I-35 back to exit 193.
     Later Wednesday morning, the northbound on-ramp at exit 193 will be closed. The ramp traffic will be detoured west on Fourth Avenue S. to Eighth Street in Clear Lake, then north to U.S. 18, and then east to I-35.
    The two ramp closures will be reopened by the end of the day.
    The Iowa DOT asks motorists to drive with caution and obey posted signs in the construction area. As in all construction zones, drivers should stay alert, watch their speed, allow ample space between vehicles, and wear their seat belts.
