IDOT Approves Highway 149 Addition Across Amana Area
The Iowa DOT approved a 5.5 mile straight north alignment from I 80 to the Amana Colonies with grading in 1984 and paving in 1985. The plan requires acquiring Zubers Shell Service Station property for access and dirt fill, despite objections from area residents led by the Pundt family. The commission noted design standards and local opposition, with some supporters and opponents remaining at odds over the course.
