Future Expansion
Currently, plans are under consideration to extend Iowa Highway 100 from Edgewood Road NW to the south and west to have it meet with U.S. Route 30 / U.S. Route 218 in western Linn County. This would provide a four lane bypass around the entire city. The proposed expansion has proven to be controversial, with the Linn County Conservation Board worried about environmental impact such an expansion would have on the area - especially the Rock Island Forest Preserve. As a result it is now believed that such an expansion would not be open before 2016.
