Henry County drivers should expect a long-term road closure starting next week. Beginning Monday, December 8th, the bridge over Big Creek on 235th Street — also known as Business 34 just west of Mount Pleasant — will close for a full bridge replacement project.
The closure is expected to last nearly a year, with work scheduled to wrap up in November of 2026. A detour will route traffic onto Franklin Avenue, Old Highway 34, and Goodyear Road. Drivers are urged to follow posted signs, as speed limits in the area have been adjusted. Heavy trucks are asked to use the Mt. Pleasant bypass.
Anyone with questions can contact the Jake Hotchkiss or Henry County Engineer’s Office at 319-385-0762.
