The highway and bridge projects included in this program are funded with approximately $4.5 billion of state and federal funding forecast to be available over the next five years. The commission prioritizes investments that improve the safety and condition of existing state highways and bridges, and this program includes over $3.9 billion of investments in that area.
This program invests in projects that add capacity where necessary, replace major river crossings, and modernize interchanges to improve safety and to handle future traffic demands, such as:
- I-80 Middle Road Interchange reconstruction in Bettendorf
- I-80 Mississippi River bridge replacement
- I-35/80/235 Southwest Mixmaster modernization in Polk County
- I-380 widening from 120th Street to U.S. 30 (including Wright Brothers interchange reconstruction) in Linn County
