DES MOINES, Iowa — Starting April 21, the southbound entrance ramp at the Interstate 80 Hickman interchange and the southbound exit ramp at University will close for 120 days.
Frank Leone, an engineer with the Iowa Department of Transportation, said the closure is part of an interstate expansion project.
