Freeway Threatens Cedar Rapids Churches in 549 Route Plan
Readies for a proposed 549 freeway through Cedar Rapids would place Immaculate Conception, First Lutheran, St Pauls United Methodist, Unity Center and nearby properties in the corridor. Church leaders weigh potential demolition, relocation costs, and community impact as planners project an 8 to 15 year horizon with possible deviations from the favored path.
