\nJune 22, 2013:<\/strong> East Broadway in downtown Council Bluffs. The owner of the Mississippi State flag isn’t lost, just here for the College World Series. This photo is west of the Broadway\/Kanesville intersection on the historic Lincoln Highway.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although (as of this writing, after a call to the city) US 6 is still signed through Council Bluffs on West Broadway and Kanesville Boulevard despite an approved transfer of jurisdiction, the city is already changing the road. The Nonpareil<\/em> reported last week<\/a> that in a project that ended Dec. 29,\u00a0the intersection of East Broadway and Kanesville<\/a>\u00a0was reconfigured from a Y to a T. The intersection was built in the early 1980s, when Kanesville was extended westward so US 6 could bypass downtown Council Bluffs. The Lincoln Highway gets back onto 6 here, goes northeast to the next intersection, then heads north on North Broadway. The road pattern that existed in the area when the Lincoln Highway went through and US 32\/6 exited the city on McPherson is nearly buried, and this changes it further. The intersection is where IA 183 ended from 1969 to 1981<\/a> (after taking over the US 30A designation south of Missouri Valley) and a sign still pointed to the route until 2003.<\/p>\n

The unusual part of this is that last I knew, the Iowa DOT was going to keep<\/em> control of this part of Kanesville, since it’s east of downtown. Based on a photo of the new intersection<\/a>, though, only a tiny portion of that road needed work, so there was probably some sort of agreement made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
