2021-22 Construction:
Hwy 29 overpass near Glenwood

Overpass progress: Waterama weekend, business access and more

It's Waterama weekend in Glenwood! If you're traveling to the area for the annual community celebration, remember that Highway 29 remains closed between CR 28 and Hwy 28. Please follow the signed detour route. 

Local business access

If you're heading to any of the local businesses within the work zone, be aware that your point of access will vary based on your destination.

• Enter from south on Hwy 29 to access: Meco 7; Bobber’s Marine & Sports Center; Glacial Ridge Veterinary Clinic; Rapid Response Plumbing Heating and Air; Pope County Highway Garage; Stoens Hydrostatic Service; and Hilltop Lumber.
• Enter from east on 160th Street to access: Red Horizon Equipment; Koeps Bait
• Enter from north off of Hwy 55 to access: Marthaler Chevrolet

Construction progress

This week, crews installed the beams over the railroad tracks. It's quite the operation when the beams come in. Crews must coordinate with the railroad to ensure no trains will be arriving during the installation, and flaggers must direct traffic on Highway 55 while the beams are being set. 

You'll notice, too, that the hill south of the Highway 55 intersection is getting bigger and bigger. Crews are working on the south abutment fill, which will look similar to the hill you see to the north. On the flip side, crews are digging holes to complete storm sewer replacements at the 160th Street intersection.
