Transportation Improvement Program Approved by the Iowa Transportation Commission

AMES, IA — The Iowa Transportation Commission approved the Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Iowa Transportation Improvement Program at a recent meeting. The program documents investments in Iowa’s multimodal transportation system covering aviation, public transit, railroads, trails, and highways.

The highway and bridge projects included in this program are funded with approximately $4.5 billion of state and federal funding forecast to be available over the next five years. The commission prioritizes investments that improve the safety and condition of existing state highways and bridges, and this program includes over $3.9 billion of investments in that area.

This program invests in projects that add capacity where necessary, replace major river crossings, and modernize interchanges to improve safety and to handle future traffic demands, such as:

  • I-80 Middle Road Interchange reconstruction in Bettendorf
  • I-80 Mississippi River bridge replacement
  • I-35/80/235 Southwest Mixmaster modernization in Polk County
  • I-380 widening from 120th Street to U.S. 30 (including Wright Brothers interchange reconstruction) in Linn County
  • I-380 widening from Swan Lake Road to 120th Street in Johnson and Linn counties
  • I-35 bridge replacement and widening at the U.S. 30 interchange in Ames
  • I-35 widening between Ankeny and Iowa 210
  • I-29 interchange construction in Woodbury County
  • Addition of over 50 truck parking spots

Projects in this program that address safety and operational needs include:
