Ottawa backs Eisenhower Road as US-50 swap alternative
Ottawa officials oppose removing the US-50 bridge over I-35 and propose using Eisenhower Road as a state highway to create a US-59 bypass. They seek $2 million for the frontage road but prefer redirecting funds to Eisenhower Road improvements and city control of US-50. The aim is to reduce downtown traffic and noise while planning a future US-59 reroute to connect with I-35 northeast of Ottawa.
