The Iowa 122 reconstruction project between Pierce Avenue and Monroe Avenue in Mason City will be entering a new stage on Wednesday, Sept. 3, weather permitting, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Mason City construction office.

This means the Iowa 122/Pierce Avenue intersection will be closed to all turning traffic except for northbound drivers wanting to turn east. Eastbound traffic attempting to access the hospital will be most impacted with this closure. Access to the hospital for eastbound traffic will now be gained via a detour that will begin at Winnebago Way and continue east on 1st Street NW. Traffic will then turn south on Taylor Avenue and continue to 3rd Street SW to access hospital and clinic parking. Westbound traffic will still have access to the hospital
