31st Street closure anticipated this summer

The City of Des Moines is planning on reconstructing 31st Street between I-235 and Brattleboro Avenue this summer. The work is anticipated to start May 30 and be completed no later than Aug. 17. Detour signage will direct traffic off I-235 to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway exit.  Additional local road traffic will be detoured around the road construction during this period.  More information about the project and schedule will be posted a couple weeks prior to the closure on the City of Des Moines Road and Trail Closures map.
