Interstate 35 route near Clear Lake Mason City chosen
Iowa Highway Commission selects a northern I 35 corridor between Clear Lake and Mason City after a two year study of over twenty routes. The plan runs northeast from seven miles north of Williams to near Latimer then north between US 69 and US 65, crossing US 18 near Clear Lake and heading into Minnesota, with public hearing set for Sept. 29 at Mason City airport. The route’s impact on schools and local districts drew opposition and a later reconsideration by Mason City residents.
