Riverside

160th Street east of Riverside in rural Washington County will close beginning Tuesday, October 27, for pipeline installation.

According to the Washington County Road Department, MidAmerican Energy will install new pipelines, with Michels Pipeline, Inc. serving as the contractor.

The initial work is expected to take about four days. The road will then reopen for a few days before closing again Monday, November 2, for crews to excavate across the road and install a new pipe.

Traffic will be detoured along Tulip Avenue and 170th Street during the closures. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously near the work zone.

Anyone with questions about the project should contact MidAmerican Energy.
