Abstract

The proposed Iowa 2 Sidney east bypass extends easterly on new alignment around Sidney and then northwesterly to tie to U.S. 275 north of Sidney. Total distance of the proposed bypass is 6.0 kilometers (km) (3.8 miles). A project location map is shown on Figure 1, page 2. The purpose of the proposed improvement is to construct a two-lane rural type roadway around Sidney to help alleviate limited operational constraints on traffic currently using present Iowa 2 and U.S. 275 at Sidney. The facility would be built to Priority III access standards (access to the highway allowed at at-grade locations). See page 24 for more detail on Priority III access control. This project has been programmed for construction in the 1999-2003 Iowa Transportation Improvement Program. Estimated costs of $12,790,000 are shown for the project.
