Highway 9 Reverses Iowa Road Program Scope and Cost
The Iowa State Highway Commission formally approves nearly 785 million dollars for highway improvements in 1972 and the 1972 77 period. The plan highlights widening and upgrading Highway 9, with several segments delayed or scaled back and substantial funding allocated for right of way, grade and drain, and paving through 1977. Transit projections show year by year increases and postponements affecting Highway 9 east toward Highway 69 and the Forest City to Worth county line segment.
