Humboldt, Iowa — Construction on Highways 3 and 169 in Humboldt will continue in the coming weeks.

The Iowa Department of Transportation says patching work on Highway 3 still needs to be finished as well as a new turn lane on the northwest corner of 3 and 169.

Jason Ruter, DOT construction technician supervisor, says milling will begin soon at the four-way intersection of Highway 3 and 169 and will “extend 1,400 feet to the west on highway 3 and 2,700 feet to the north on Highway 169.”

Most of the construction work will take place at night.
