Interstate interchange limits threaten Iowa highway plan
The Iowa Highway Commission opposes a Federal Bureau of Public Roads manual proposing fewer rural interchanges and urban lanes. The guide urges rural interchanges every eight miles and urban interchanges every two miles, potentially cutting Des Moines freeway interchanges from 17 to seven or eight. The manual also advocates 4 lane urban routes in smaller cities.
