Abstract

the US 20 corridor across Iowa has been of interest to professionals at the Iowa Department of Transportation and to a number of interest groups in northern Iowa. Many sections of US 20 across Iowa have been upgraded to expressway or to freeway standards. Others are two lanes wide and are well beyond their useful life. One example of such a segment is the US 20 corridor from its interchange with Interstate 35 in Hamilton County to just east of the Black Hawk county line. The purpose of this report is to help determine a design and a routing of the new US 20 that would be in the best interests of Iowans. Special consideration will be given to the needs of the residents of Hardin and Grundy Counties. A variety of interest groups have registered their opinions on this project. These concerns will be addressed in this report.
