Marion Road Closures Today Starting at 7 AM (Wednesday)

By Tim Martin Aug 19, 2020 | 6:04 AM

First, dozens of utility trucks will be shutting down East Post Road at Grand Avenue south to Iowa Hwy 100
to restore power. There will be no traffic north or southbound on East Post Road nor will there be any side
street access during this event which is slated to begin sometime after 7 am on Wednesday, August 19th. Please avoid
this area and use other routes. Police will be on scene directing traffic throughout the day.

Secondly, the city is having a large number of contractors (dozens of trucks and personnel) arrive today
to begin the arduous task of picking up tree debris from last Monday’s storm damage. Access to
neighborhoods will be extremely limited such that if you are parking vehicles on the streets after 7 am
today, the removal teams will not be able to collect your curbside tree debris and will move on to
other areas instead.

In conclusion, after 7 am, today, please choose alternate routes while avoiding East Post Road
(between Grand Avenue and Highway 100) and kindly clear your vehicle(s) from on-street parking during
daylight hours.
