BOONE, Iowa---Those who take Iowa Highway 17 on their commute to Des Moines will have to deal with a major detour next week. The Iowa Department of Transportation reports that the traffic will be detoured at Madrid and Granger, using Highways 141 and 210. The detour is needed because of the major reconstruction on the Des Moines River Bridge between Madrid and Granger. The DOT plans to replace the bridge deck this summer. Work is expected to be completed in August.
