‘Rehab’ on IA 28, Sioux City pages

“Pavement Rehab” is a line often used in DOT five-year plans regarding construction projects. That phrase makes sense for what I’ve done on the IA 12, Business US 20 (Sioux City), the combined IA 12 South/Business 20 East, and IA 28 pages.

As Jason Hancock reported, the transfer of jurisdiction on Virginia Street in Sioux City between Gordon Drive and the new I-29 exit resulted in the hidden designation of IA 12 being relocated and part of Gordon Drive being renumbered secret IA 812. I do not agree with this designation at all. If the “12” connection had to be kept, IA 912 didn’t live longer than two years and its road is now gone, so confusion would be nonexistent. On the IA 12 page, I try to walk through both that change and the routing history of the segment east of the Riverside Boulevard exit, including some tweaking of the endpoint table.

The Virginia Street exit and 812 issue also affect Business 20. Business 20 remains signed on Gordon Drive, so it and IA 12 now technically run separately for a while. The issues of eastbound and westbound Business 20 becoming separated and eastbound Business 20 not being signed from I-29 remain, though.

As for IA 28, I don’t know how recent the project was but its south end in Martensdale now has LGSs and IA 92 has new concrete. I also added clarification regarding the Beaver Creek bridge and its effect on the north endpoint.

On the US 77 page, I integrated photo dates and hope I’ve arranged the photos such that comparisons can be made in the past and present configurations of the I-29 exit.
