Route Description
Iowa 100 begins at a half-diamond interchange with Edgewood Road NE in Cedar Rapids. The road heads east along a freeway towards I-380. At I-380, the mainline of Iowa 100 passes high above the interstate. Collector-distributor lanes for each highway intersect at an intermediate level between the freeways. East of the volleyball interchange, the C-D lanes of Iowa 100 intersect Center Point Road NE before rejoining the mainline at the end of the freeway. Continuing east, Iowa 100 passes the Rockwell Collins complex on the north and the studios for KGAN-TV on the south. It enters a shopping district centered around Lindale Mall. Just east of the mall, the highway intersects U.S. Route 151 Business (US 151 Bus.), which runs along 1st Avenue.
South of 1st Avenue, Iowa 100 leaves Cedar Rapids and enters Marion. The highway turns to southeast briefly and then straightens out to the east. It roughly marks the southern extents of Marion as the only neighborhoods lie north of the highway. It continues slightly northeast and then east again and ends at an intersection with US 151 and Iowa 13 on the eastern edge of Marion.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
