History
Iowa 100 was designated in the early 1980s after the southern end of Iowa 150 was relocated to its current end in Vinton. It was established along the entirety of Collins Road NE in Cedar Rapids, which then extended from the I-380 interchange to 1st Avenue. Construction of Collins Road west of I-380 was proposed by 1983. By 1986, construction was completed and the road extended west to Edgewood Road NE.
In 1996, Iowa 100 was significantly lengthened eastward. An extension of Collins Road was built from the intersection at 1st Avenue in Cedar Rapids to US 151 / Iowa 13 in Marion. The Collins Road extension was originally planned in the 1960s as a bypass of Marion. Growth and development of the city during the 30 years between planning and building of the extension have diminished its utility as a bypass.
