Route Description
Iowa Highway 32 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 20 (US 20) in Dubuque. From US 20, Iowa 32 heads north and immediately drops 100 feet (30 m) in elevation into the valley of the middle fork of Catfish Creek. It heads back uphill and intersects Pennsylvania Avenue. A mile (1.6 km) north of this intersection is another intersection with Asbury Road, named for the small town 3⁄4 miles (1.2 km) west of the intersection.
North of Asbury Road, the Northwest Arterial is flanked on both sides of the road by retail establishments, most of which popped up in the early-2000s. The highway makes a 45° turn to the northeast, heading towards Sageville. Just to the northeast is an intersection with John F. Kennedy Road (JFK), which for the first six years of Iowa 32's existence, was the northern end of the route. Northeast of JFK, the highway passes the Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Just to the northeast of the arboretum is the intersection with U.S. Route 52 / Iowa Highway 3 in Sageville.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“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)
