Peosta, IA – July 31, 2025 – Starting tomorrow, August 1, 2025, the City of Peosta will see significant roadwork on Sundown Road (Peosta Street) as River City Paving begins milling operations. The project, which stretches 1.04 miles from Old Highway Road south to the railroad tracks, will transition to paving on Monday, August 4, 2025. Motorists should prepare for traffic restrictions and delays for the next two to three weeks, weather permitting.

The construction, which began on July 14, 2025, has already limited travel on Sundown Road during daytime hours. According to the latest update, the road will remain open but reduced to one lane, with flaggers and pilot cars managing traffic flow. The work is expected to cause delays, and drivers are advised to plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time.

The project’s timeline depends on weather conditions, with River City Paving estimating completion within two to three weeks. Motorists are encouraged to stay updated on progress and road conditions through local announcements or the city’s website.

For those traveling through Peosta, exercise caution in the construction zone and follow all posted signs and flagger instructions. The city appreciates the community’s cooperation as it works to enhance this vital roadway.
