Portion of Dorchester Drive to be closed for estimated two-month period ...

The Allamakee County Engineer’s Office has announced that a portion of County Road A16/Dorchester Drive, the paved roadway exiting Dorchester to the south and climbing the hill to the west, will be closing as of 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, September 4 for approximately two months in order to complete culvert repairs along the roadway. The closed road portion of A16/Dorchester Drive (highlighted in orange in the above map) is between Steinbach Road and Waterloo Creek Drive, with a detour (highlighted in red in the above map) being signed in those areas directing traffic to instead travel Highway 76 just to the east of Dorchester south to its intersection with the paved Bear Creek Drive, then head west to W60/Balsam Road, taking the graveled portion of that roadway north to reconnect with Dorchester Drive approximately four miles west of Dorchester.
