December 3, 2016: Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett (second from left) and other dignitaries have a ceremonial ribbon-cutting for the first phase of the IA 100 extension.
The extension of IA 100 from Edgewood Road to Covington Road opens to vehicle traffic today, almost two weeks after it had a one-day opening for bicyclists and a ribbon-cutting. This opening, which comes ahead of schedule, provides a much-needed additional crossing of the Cedar River for the area. The rest of the IA 100 bypass, down to US 30/218, will not be completed until 2020.
This change in the Iowa highway system will be easy for me to cover. 😉
