On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, subject to weather conditions, MidAmerican Energy Company will have a contractor, Michels Pipeline, Inc, begin work to install a new pipeline across 160th Street between Tulip Avenue & Hwy. 218.

The roadway will be closed to traffic while this work is being completed.

The first part of this work will be to pull pipe for boring which will close the road for approximately 4 days. After that is complete, the road will be opened back up for 2-3 days before being closed again to dig across 160th to place the new pipe. This will take about 4 days to complete and the second closure is tentatively set to begin on Monday, November 2, 2026.

The detour for this construction project will be Tulip Avenue & 170th Street.

The public is encouraged to drive safely around the work zone and upon the detour route.

Questions about the project can be directed to MidAmerican Energy Company.
