Priority for East-West Iowa Four-Lane Freeway Is Urged
Federal interstate highway legislation increases pressure on the Iowa Highway Commission to accelerate plans for an east-west four-lane freeway across the state. The Town Highway Commission says first priority will go to routes 69 and 75, delaying four-lane east-west work while right-of-way is bought and modernization is planned. Road officials note east-west traffic bears the heaviest burden and a toll or tree road could aid, with studies dating to 1952.
