Motorists traveling through West Des Moines should prepare for a temporary road closure this weekend. On Sunday, September 28, at 6 a.m., a section of Highway 28 will be closed to facilitate overhead floodgate testing on Grand Avenue.
The closure is part of routine maintenance designed to ensure the floodgates function properly during emergencies. The testing is expected to cause minimal disruption, as efforts will be made to complete the process efficiently and reopen the highway as quickly as possible.
