Iowa Transportation Corridor Receives Over $57 Million in Major Infrastructure Investment | U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa

BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – The Iowa Department of Transportation will receive significant federal resources to make upgrades to Eastern Iowa’s I-380 and Wright Brothers Boulevard Freight Hub, easing access for drivers and pedestrians. The federal award comes as a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, legislation U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) supported in 2021.

“I was glad to support the Iowa Department of Transportation’s grant application and the infrastructure bill that made this project possible,” Grassley said. “This investment will help increase productivity and safety for truckers, drivers and pedestrians. Our Iowa economy and local communities will greatly benefit as a result.”

The Iowa Department of Transportation will receive $57,300,000 for improvements to I-380 between US 30 and 120 Street. The funds will be used to add a lane in each direction, widen lane shoulders, reconstruct pavement and increase rest stop truck parking. The grant will also enhance accessibility by reconstructing the I-380 and Wright Brothers Boulevard and add ADA accessible sidewalks and pedestrian pathways.
