Raymond route chosen for Cedar Rapids Waterloo interstate
The Raymond alternate is estimated to cost 50.8 million and would serve the Walker Cedar Rapids corridor with 90 percent federal funding on 6.5 miles. It would displace 125 dwellings and 460 individuals while avoiding multiple Cedar River crossings and aligning with urban growth toward Waterloo. Officials warn environmental and funding hurdles remain before final approval and construction could start after 1977 pending federal action.
