Route Description
Iowa Highway 58 begins at the intersection of U.S. Route 63, known locally as Sergeant Road, and Hudson Road on the southern edge of Hudson. Iowa 58 passes Hudson High School and turns to the northwest through town. North of Hudson, the highway straightens to the north again and travels 4 miles (6.4 km) to a partial cloverleaf interchange with U.S. Route 20 (US 20). Iowa 58 turns east onto US 20 and shares the roadway for one mile (1.6 km).
Iowa 58 leaves US 20 at exit 255 on the outskirts of Cedar Falls. From the opposite direction, Iowa Highway 27, the Avenue of the Saints highway, also exits US 20 and the two routes head north. For 21⁄2 miles (4.0 km), Iowa 27 / Iowa 58 travel on a signal-controlled freeway. This is the only section of the Avenue of the Saints highway in Iowa that is controlled by traffic lights. North of Greenhill Road, the last signal-controlled intersection, Iowa 27 / Iowa 58 share a freeway. One mile (1.6 km) north of the Greenhill Road intersection is an interchange with University Avenue. East of this interchange, University Avenue is designated as Iowa Highway 934, but it is never signed as such.
Iowa 27 / Iowa 58 continue north for 2 miles (3.2 km), crossing the Cedar River near George Wyth State Park, before Iowa 58 ends at a full interchange with U.S. Route 218 and Iowa Highway 57. The US 218 interchange is also the eastern end of Iowa 57. The Avenue of the Saints highway continues north with US 218 towards Waverly.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“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)
