The Iowa State Highway Commission five year construction program offers little for Pella area motorists. Major local needs like sight line improvements on Hwy 163 a belt route around Pella and a north south connector from Hwy 163 to I 80 are not included. Most plans are 10 years away with costs high and many projects already 15 20 years behind schedule. The piece hopes for better consideration from the new Department of Transportation in coming years.
A year into the 5 year construction plan the Highway Commission drops several earlier critical needs. Hwy 14 through Marion County to Monroe is no longer listed as unmet. Hwy 163 segments from Jasper County to Pella and from Marion County line to Monroe are dropped. The Polk County line to Monroe segment is cut to Prairie City only. New critical needs include Hwy 163 from Pella east city limits to three miles east of Dutch Buffet and South Main Street from Liberty to Oskaloosa Street.
