The South Expressway is a major arterial roadway (formerly Iowa 192) that serves as one of the main entrances to the downtown area of Council Bluffs from I-29/I-80. Traffic volumes are approaching 20,000 vehicles per day. The South Expressway is currently a rural four-lane divided roadway with a depressed median.
The updated design for the reconstruction will utilize an urban typical section. The project will include new roadway pavement, drainage improvements, street lighting, and a concrete trail on the east side of the South Expressway from just north of the I-29/I-80 ramps to 23rd Avenue.
This is the first of at least two phases planned to reconstruct the South Expressway. Phase 1 includes the area immediately north of the I-29/I-80 interchange, and continues north to just south of 19th Avenue.
This project was included in the FY22 CIP. STBG-SWAP funds will be used for construction costs up to $4,620,000; the remaining project costs, including engineering, will be paid with Sales Tax funds.
The project schedule is as follows: Construction Start March/April 2023
