That is my primary stomping ground, since I live in Iowa. Some sections of I-29 are going to have to be totally rebuilt. Same is true for I-680 on the north side of Omaha. This is going to be a long, long process. As was stated, it might be open when the snow flies, but I would bet it will still be a bottle neck clear into summer next year. IDOT is not very optimistic at this point. Best advice is to get out the map, do a little research using things like Mapquest and other routing programs and find the tightest routes you can. Getting online with your laptop or smartphone on Iowa's road condition site is advisable. It is one of the best maintained road condition sites there is.
