After years of public meetings and study, the US 65/IA 330/IA 117 intersection in Jasper County will be upgraded to an interchange. The interchange will be northeast of the current intersection and both the present intersection and the F17 intersection will be closed.
The DOT has created an explanatory PDF (with interchange diagram) and a memorandum on traffic control options to back up a decision that has been vocally protested by the landowner who will be most affected.
