Mediapolis, IA — Motorists traveling through Mediapolis will soon notice a change at a key intersection. The Iowa Department of Transportation’s District 5 Office has announced that beginning Wednesday, December 3, the intersection of old U.S. 61/Wapello Street and Main Street will be converted from a two-way stop to a four-way stop.
The DOT says the change is being made to improve both safety and traffic operations at the busy junction. Drivers are encouraged to stay alert and be prepared to stop in all directions once the new signs are in place.
The department reminds motorists to use extra caution during the first few days of the transition as drivers adjust to the new traffic pattern.
