100 Miles Of Inter State Road By Fall
William E Reed Iowa division engineer for the federal bureau of roads told the Cedar Rapids Real Estate Board that about 100 miles of the new interstate system will be completed in Iowa by next fall. The main section will run 45 miles south of Des Moines with other stretches near Davenport and Council Bluffs. Reed said Cedar Rapids–east west linking funding looks slim but other funds may provide a form of link to the east west route parallel to highway 6. He praised Iowa’s energy in starting the project. Interchanges will be spaced every three to five miles with rest areas every 35 miles and full access control to reduce traffic interruptions and keep the system from crowding with roadside businesses. The plan aims for traffic capacity, safety and smooth driving across the highway.
