Interchange At Risk As Road Funds Shift For Tower Terrace
The Corridor MPO in Cedar Rapids recommends moving 760000 from a Tower Terrace Road segment to fund a new Hy-Vee site. The shift could jeopardize a planned I 380 interchange as costs rise from 57 million to 1865 million due to bridge over railroad tracks and inflation. Local leaders say funds remove development barriers along the corridor.
