Projects
Much has been accomplished since the construction of the Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements began in 2008. The Iowa DOT and Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvement Program appreciates the cooperation of all our project partners, the work of design and contractor teams, and the public’s flexibility and patience as we work to improve safety and the ability to move growing numbers of people and goods through this critical area of our state. While our work is far from done, completion is in sight.
Because of the magnitude of the overall program and limited availability of funding, construction will occur in multiple stages. Only a few projects remain to be constructed to fully implement the complete vision of the improvement program over the next two to three years. Individual projects are being strategically grouped and completed to maximize improvements to the system while simultaneously minimizing the impacts of construction to Council Bluffs residents and the traveling public.
