Highway 75 Enhancement
Our Highway 75 corridor serves as part of the US highway system and as our main street.
As our population and traffic increase, this corridor is stressed, especially during peak times.
We want a corridor that will safely serve our community and visitors, offer safe pedestrian use and welcome travelers to our thriving community.
We are working with the Iowa DOT on a design that would change Highway 75 in Sioux Center to an enhanced 4-lane roadway.
This design features two lanes of travel in each direction with medians and a center turn lane.

Designed for safety
Landscaped medians calm traffic and create a safe zone for pedestrians crossing the street. They can also decrease the number of conflict points where traffic turns.
Effective & Accessible
Two lanes will help traffic flow and allow for more space between vehicles for safety and for turning traffic.
For years to come
City staff and the city council are considering how the highway can best serve the community today and 30 years or more from today, the anticipated lifespan of the road design.
A Sioux Center Welcome
Highway 75 is our community's front door. Landscape and design elements can create a welcome impression and a theme that carries through the community.
Your Input
Ideas and comments shared by the public have influenced current concept drawings. The city will continue to seek public input throughout the design process.
