Now we know what the grade-and-pave listing for two intersections on US 75 north of Sioux City in the five-year construction plan is for.
The intersections of US 75 with county roads C70 and C80, in Plymouth County, just across the Woodbury line and right before/after the Sioux City bypass begins/ends, are going to be restricted.
The Iowa DOT has given less than a week’s notice (Wednesday for a meeting Monday) about installing J-turns at the intersections. The state is referring to them as “reduced conflict intersections” but they’re still that type of intersection that bans left turns from the intersecting road onto the four-lane.
Construction will take place next year. Barring locations that I don’t know about, and depending on the timing of the one coming to US 30 in DeWitt, these will be the third and fourth “reduced conflict intersections” in Iowa.
