Weather permitting Manatt’s of Brooklyn, IA, plan to begin working on the reconstruction of the eastbound lanes tomorrow, Thursday, May 31. Traffic will be placed head-to-head in the westbound lanes with 12 foot lane width restrictions during the day and will remain head-to-head until the project is completed in the fall.
