A Comprehensive(?) Listing of the 900s - Page 2

900-940

KEY
Number: Self-explanatory. Listings shaded in BLUE are active. All numbers below 400 were originally assigned to other routes.
Year(s): Start date for this number and end date if decommissioned; may not be exact. Only years are used; see Jason Hancock's site for exact dates if available. Those specifically involved in the Second Great Decommissioning of 2003 are shaded in gray; those not shaded with a 2003 date were turned over in separate agreements. Years are based on when a bypass segment opened, and then the last year the number appeared on the map (for example, 392 was on 2000 but not 2001, meaning decommissioning in 2000; 431 not on 2002 map, meaning gone in 2001). Year in parentheses, ex. (-1994), means part but not all of the route was decommissioned that year and part still exists/existed afterward.
Old/Co.: Its number when it was signed, _not_ the route the number was originally used for/county it's in, in the case of the non-9xxs.
Length: Self-explanatory. Most numbers are courtesy Jason Hancock's research into the "Primary Road Sufficiency Log". Some lengths of road segments created after 2002 are measured on Google Maps if possible.
Proof of life: Image(s) from at least one of the following: official state maps (if visible) and PDF state and/or county maps from DOT site. State clips are from the map dated 1/1/00 and are more pixelated; county clips are from maps dated 1/1/01 unless noted. Jason Hancock did some additional research in May 2002; more than a decade later, the Iowa DOT put online most if not all of its post-1969 (or so) official primary route descriptions. In those cases, maps without the numbers may be provided to show where the route was.
NOTE: Images are severely trimmed to show number and part or all of the route. Images are at a large size because otherwise sometimes you can't even see it. Download the county maps from the DOT's site for context.
Other notes: Self-explanatory. If you can help us fill out the holes and question marks please send me an e-mail.
