Abstract:The Iowa Transportation Commission (Commission) and the Iowa Department of ; Transportation (Iowa DOT) develop Iowa’s Five Year Highway Program to inform ; Iowans of planned investments in our state’s primary highway system. This ; brochure summarizes the 2012-2016 Iowa Highway Program (Program) and ; provides information about long-term highway programming issues, through the ; year 2020. The Program is typically updated and approved each year in June. ; The Program documents the planned investments of highway right of way and ; construction. It was developed to achieve several objectives. The primary highway ; programming objective is the maintenance and preservation of Iowa’s existing ; highway system, and its operational and safety features. This includes interstate ; and non-interstate pavement rehabilitation or replacement, bridge rehabilitation ; or replacement, and safety enhancements. There are also significant investments ; to modernize three urban interstate systems, on I-29 in Sioux City, I-29/80/480 in ; Council Bluffs, and I-74 in Bettendorf/Davenport. ; Another highway programming objective is to maintain the scheduled completion ; of capacity and economic development projects. Projects scheduled to be ; completed within the previous Program continue on their current schedule. ; However, due to a reduction in projected federal revenue, the Commission has ; delayed by one year the initiation of construction of all multiyear, non-interstate ; capacity and economic development projects that cannot be completed within ; this Program. These projects are U.S. 20 in Woodbury County, U.S. 30 in Benton ; County, U.S. 61 in Louisa County, and Iowa 100 in Linn County.
