The 26.6 mile 22 stretch and 5.8 mile 70 stretch are the longest in the commission's program, with safety and rough surface issues noted on both routes. Improvements also planned include a total rebuild of Highway 38 from Muscatine to Highway 6 at a cost over 2 million, eliminating a hazardous curve and improving access to scenic Wyoming Hill. Legislators and the commission receive praise for advancing these projects.
