Interstate 129 - Route Description

Route Description

Interstate 129 begins along U.S. Route 20 on the western edge of South Sioux City, Nebraska, just west of exit 1, a cloverleaf interchange with U.S. Route 75 and U.S. Route 77. US 77 travels north through South Sioux City before ending at Interstate 29 in Sioux City while US 75 joins I-129 and US 20. One mile (1.6 km) later, I-129 / US 20 / US 75 intersect Dakota Avenue at a partial cloverleaf interchange. U.S. Route 20 Business is designated along Dakota Avenue.

East of Dakota Avenue, I-129 / US 20 / US 75 travels south of South Sioux City and passes through rolling farmland. For the rest of I-129's length, the two directions of I-129 / US 20 / US 75 traffic are separated by a Jersey barrier instead of a grassy median. The three routes cross the Missouri River and immediately intersect Interstate 29 at an interchange. Due to the minimum amount of space along the Missouri River banks, the I-29 interchange is a modified two-level cloverstack interchange. At I-29, US 20 and US 75 continue east around Sioux City and I-129 ends.

    “A Route of Evanescence
    With a revolving Wheel—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
