I-380 construction expected to end within 3 months

CEDAR RAPIDS — Motorists, rejoice: Construction on I-380 is nearing the end. The southbound lanes of Interstate 380 at the Highway 30 interchange no longer cross over the highway. Instead, drivers will continue straight onto the three widened lanes. This work is part of a larger project by the Iowa Department of Transportation to rebuild and widen north and southbound lanes of I-380. There still is more work to be done in the project’s north segment, which is the portion of I-380 between 120th Street and the Highway 30 interchange. The northbound stretch of the north segment isn’t in its final configuration yet, and some work on highway medians and the sides of the road remain, said John Lamping, an Iowa Department of Transportation resident construction engineer. The southbound rest stop is still closed as well, but Lamping said workers are hoping to reopen it in mid-December. The weather will determine when exactly construction in the north segment will be finished, but Lamping estimated it could happen in the next three months. The larger project’s south segment includes the stretch of I-380 north of Interstate 80 to north of Swan Lake Road. Work in the south segment is largely done,

Family of UIHC patient paid $875K after brain infection

IOWA CITY — After a 61-year-old Wright County man who previously suffered a brain aneurysm died in June 2023 from an unrelated fungal infection, University of Iowa Health Care has agreed to pay his family $875,000 “to avoid the risks of future litigation and trial.” James Deimerly’s family sued the state for its oversight of UIHC in December 2024 — accusing Deimerly’s UI care team of negligence for failing to conduct a “fundus examination” of the patient’s eyes, diagnose and treat meningitis, and diagnose and treat intracranial pressure. “UIHC is vicariously liable for the negligent acts of its doctors, nurses, assistants, nurse practitioners, therapists, agents, and other health care professionals who may have provided care to Jim Deimerly,” according to allegations in the lawsuit, which state attorneys have denied. “The death of Jim Deimerly, along with the resulting harms and damages, would not have occurred but for the negligence of providers at UIHC.” More than three years ago on June 17, 2023, Deimerly came to UIHC complaining of seizure-like activity for a week, a severe headache, frequent hiccups and nausea, according to the family’s lawsuit. He was told to continue anti-seizure medication and given additional tests — such as a
