The Allamakee County Engineer's Office reports that, even though Whalen Hill Road has been open to local traffic for a few weeks, some minor work that needed finishing is now done and remaining construction signs have now been taken down to declare the road officially open.

🚧 Localized traffic impact south of Lansing, starting Tuesday. Please plan accordingly. 🚧

The Allamakee County Engineer’s Office is planning to temporarily close Whalen Hill Road, beginning Tuesday, September 24 and ending Tuesday, October 8, pending weather conditions. The road closure segment on Whalen Hill Road will be from the Great River Road (X52) south of Lansing, southeasterly up the hill about a mile to Waterview Lane and Guider Drive (with that segment being highlighted in red in the map image below).The road closure is necessary in order to reconstruct the asphalt pavement and sub-base of the roadway. This will be a full road closure to through traffic. There will not be a signed detour since this is a lower traffic local road. Map image courtesy of the Allamakee County Engineer’s Office.
