correct, you have to cut through Kelly and take a dirt road that goes by the rodeo, which I am guessing has a chance of being covered by water
Is I35 closed both ways near Ames?

I just made it through at 9:45 am, closed right after. About two miles south of hwy 30.

Closed past Madrid for road construction. I came up 17 this morning and there were a couple places down to one lane due to water on the road. If taking 17 you'd have to detour on 210 through Woodward to 141. Or go through Polk City.
Nope that's still under construction, I took State st. in Ames south towards Kelly and over to 69 to get out of Ames. Then there was Huxley and miles of traffic. Gravel ftw.
Check Iowa Road Dept website.

Looks like a mess.
IA 117, 69, 92, 30, I-35 all closed.

just talked to a buddy going to huxley from ankeny on 69 and everyone from 35 is trying to head north on 69 now.
Has anyone heard anything about I-80 closing by colfax?
According to the NOAA hydrology page, the Skunk should be over I-80 there for the next several days. The river is already at 22.5 ft, and forecasted to get to 25.

What would be the best way to get out of ames down to 235?
I'm guessing by taking 69 south but how backed up is 69?

From the police scanner it sounds like any route out of town is WAY congested.
What is the rush? It can wait until next spring.
I believe at last count, we're good for the next 2250 years....
At the pace we keep getting rain in Iowa we aren't going to make it to December 21, 2012 to see the end of the world.
I live east of Story City. Tried to scoot to Gilbert and head to west Ames via E18 and Hwy 60 this morning. Where E18 crosses Hwy 69 (about a mile south of Story City) traffic was backed up 2 miles, waiting to do that left turn. I did not wait. I turned around and got back on I-25 to head to Ankeny... just in time for I-35 to be closed.
Yep, I made it home and am staying there.

Wow! Talk about taking the long way around!
