Congress approves 10.9 billion highway bill for Iowa roads
Congress passes a 10.9 billion highway funding bill through May 2015, avoiding a funding shortfall for Iowa. The measure preserves 450 million for Iowa road and bridge repairs and clears the way for continued reimbursements, with major work planned on routes like Highway 100 in Cedar Rapids and Interstate links across the state. Senators Harkin and Grassley back the Senate version.
