Thanks Thie plans are a pain to slog through.
Media reports said US 61 is the Fort Madison ByPass
They mentioned some US 30 4 laning and US 34 in Wetsern Iowa maybe the bridge?
53rd is a mess. 280 must be repave reconstruct

From what I researched for the I-74 IA page, 53rd Street will be widened from Elmore Avenue to Corporate Park Drive and the diamond interchange with Interstate 74 upgraded to a six-ramp partial-cloverleaf interchange.
That whole area, especially along Elmore, is sprawled out so bad, that I would be happy to not travel it again. There is a huge new apartment complex going up just north of there within view of I-74 right now too...
