Spencer, IA (KICD)– Those driving through Downtown Spencer over the last couple of weeks have likely noticed a roadwork project affecting traffic flow around the Grand Avenue railroad crossing.

Public Works Director Mark White addressed questions about the project on Monday night despite the city not being involved in the joint effort between the Iowa Department of Transportation and Canadian Pacific Railroad.

White also noted work is expected to resume this week, weather permitted, on the striping project on the south side of town that is being used as a temporary fix in hopes to reduce the number of crashes from the “South T” to Menards.
