U.S. 67 enters Iowa from Rock Island, Illinois across the Mississippi River on the Centennial Bridge. The route overlaps with U.S. 61 Business in Downtown Davenport before heading east to the Bettendorf Riverfront along River Drive. The US highway mirrors the Mississippi northeast from the Quad Cities as a Great River Road to Le Claire, Princeton, Camanche, Clinton and a rural end at U.S. 52 and Iowa 64 near Sabula.
