Rumor vs fact on 163 route through Pella clarified
Chief Engineer Clauson of the Iowa State Highway Commission states there is no plan to relocate 163 from Oskaloosa to Des Moines. Four-laning is planned from Des Moines to the Jasper County line by 1962, with improvements to Pella to Jasper County line in 1963. A bypass for Otley or Pella remains possible beyond five years, depending on cost versus improvements to the existing alignment. Cars will continue to pass through Pella for the next five to six years.
