Marion Eyes Bypass For Seventh Avenue To Relieve Traffic
The Iowa Department of Transportation plans a 7.5 mile four lane bypass around Marion to redirect U.S. 151 traffic away from Seventh Avenue and link with Cedar Rapids First Avenue. Land acquisition set for 1981-82 with construction in 1983. Local officials say downtown redevelopment and safer streets justify the project despite concerns about short term traffic shifts. The Marion City Council backs the plan, noting Seventh Avenue is among the state’s busiest and most congested streets.
