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.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
