On the ground for drivers, 2016 is going to be mostly about the I-29\/IA 92 interchange.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in rebuilding the I-29\/480 interchange was made, with two design concepts released. One would turn 37th Street into a frontage road (or be right beside it) for NB 29. Both close the northbound-only exit\/entrance at 35th Street. Either Avenue G or 9th Avenue, but not both, would have a direct interchange with I-29 but would be incorporated into a larger ramp system. Also, NB 29 to WB 480 would be a right exit, not left as it currently is.
