Roads Near Waterloo Favor Sunday Motors
Sunday motorists will find gravel highways in this state section but roads around Waterloo are fairly good for tomorrow. Black Hawk county roads are better than average due to pavement and graveled miles while most highways out of Waterloo are paved. No. 218 to Cedar Rapids is in good condition except near a La Porte City detour. No. 59 north under construction with dirt detours impassable without chains. An all weather Omaha to Chicago route via Lincoln highway is open with a three mile Woodbine detour. Eastern state roads mostly paved. western areas graveled. Jefferson highway from Minnesota line to Des Moines excellent but not hard surfaced south of Des Moines and passable only with chains.
