U.S. 218 Business - Waverly

The Waverly business loop for U.S. 218 was designated after the freeway bypass opened to the west in December 1998.2 The route lines the former alignment of U.S. 218 to Downtown along a 6.5 mile course between Exits 198 and 205. The 2.77 mile long section along 4th Street SW north to Iowa 3 is state-maintained and designated Iowa 116.

U.S. 218 Business (4th Street SW) transitions into a commercial arterial just north of the trumpet interchange with U.S. 218 at 29th Avenue SW.
