Proposed safety improvements on U.S. 169 from Iowa 7 in Fort Dodge to the southern
corporate limits of Humboldt will be discussed at a public meeting in Fort Dodge Tuesday,
March 18, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT).
The Iowa DOT will hold the meeting in Room 110 of the Career Education Building, Iowa
Central Community College, 330 Ave. M in Fort Dodge. The public is invited to attend
anytime between 5 and 7 p.m.
No formal presentation will be made at this meeting; however, details of the proposed safety

Through traffic would be maintained on U.S. 169 during construction with the exception of a

transportation improvement program, the improvements will be considered for
programming by the Iowa Transportation Commission during preparation of this year's
highway improvement program.
