AMES, Iowa (AP) - One southbound lane of Interstate 35 has reopened after officials had to close the roadway near Ames due to a dip in the pavement.

Des Moines television station KCCI reports (https://bit.ly/1pFjOco ) authorities reopened a lane around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, while the right lane remains closed for repairs.
