Book Description

The Iowa Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration have initiated the planning studies for the improvements to Interstate 29 in Woodbury County, Iowa. The project begins approximately 0.25 mile south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Bridge over the Missouri River and continues approximately 3.5 miles north to approximately 0.7 miles west of the Hamilton Boulevard Interchange along the existing I-29 corridor. The proposed project includes expanding the existing four lane roadway to six lanes and improving safety by modifying interchanges. This draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) identifies three Build Alternatives and the No Build Alternative for detailed evaluation. Potential impacts of the alternatives have been evaluated and include those to wetlands, water resources, historic buildings, homes, businesses, parks, and public facilities and services.
