Six-laning I-380 between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City is on the Iowa DOT’s wish list. But the north side of the Cedar Rapids metro area has grown too, and the state is trying to work ahead on that.
A public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to talk about I-380 between the Collins Road (IA 100) and County Home Road (E34) exits. I-380 changes from six to four lanes at the Blairs Ferry Road exit. A potential exit at Tower Terrace Road is part of the evaluation. This is only the super-super-early meeting, so nothing will happen for years, but it’s good it’s being talked about.
