On July 1, 2003, the Iowa Department of Transportation transferred control of more than 700 miles (1,100 km) of highway to county and local governments in order to save money and to increase operational efficiency. Most of the highways turned over were short spurs connecting small, rural communities and state parks to the highway system.[1]

In 2002, the Road Use Tax Fund Committee, a mix of city, county, and state transportation officials, met to review and recommend changes to Iowa's public road system. The report was necessitated by increasing costs to maintain the highway system and a level of funding that was not keeping up with the rising costs. The committee identified over 700 miles (1,100 km) of state highways which could be turned over to local jurisdictions.[2] Most of the committee's recommendations were accepted and on July 1, 2003, over 600 miles (970 km) of state highways were turned over to the counties or local jurisdictions.[3]

Existed1920–2003

Iowa Highway 49 (Iowa 49) was an original state highway that ran from Iowa 2 in Bedford to US 34 north of Lenox. Originally, it was a spur route from US 34 south to Lenox. In the 1940s, it was extended south and subsumed Iowa 344, which was a northern spur into Conway from Bedford.[6][7] In the late 1970s, the southern end of Iowa 49 was moved as a result of Iowa 2 bypassing Bedford.

The highway was turned over to Taylor and Adams Counties separately in 2003 after Iowa 49 was identified as part of the 700 miles (1,100 km) of Iowa highways to be turned over to counties in 2002. The Taylor County Board of Supervisors negotiated the transfer of Iowa 49 in two segments and was compensated for the transfer according to Iowa Code §306.8. The Adams County Board of Supervisors did not negotiate for their portion of Iowa 49 and as such, the county was not compensated for the highway in accordance with Iowa Code §306.8b.

On July 1, 2003, 27+12 miles (44.3 km) of the route were turned over to Franklin and Cerro Gordo counties. The only remaining segments were 1 mile (1.6 km) and 1+12 miles (2.4 km) in length, each segment wholly within the city limits of Meservey and Thornton.

On July 1, 2003, fifteen and a half miles (24.9 km) of U.S. Highway 275 (US 275) were removed the state highway system between Glenwood and Council Bluffs.

Iowa Highway 333 (Iowa 333) was originally a 9-mile-long (14 km) spur route from U.S. Route 59 to Northboro. By the late 1940s, Iowa 333 extended 34 miles (55 km) from U.S. Route 275 to U.S. Route 71 near College Springs.[21] In 1970, all of Iowa 333 west of US 59 was turned over to Fremont County. In 1980, however, Iowa 333 was extended west to Interstate 29 from US 59 and turned over to Fremont and Page County east of US 59. Iowa 333 was 14 miles (23 km) long between 1980 and 2003. On July 1, 2003, nearly 13 miles (21 km) of Iowa 333 east of US 275 was turned over to Fremont County. Most of Iowa 333's former route is known as County Road J64.

It was turned over along with 700 miles (1,100 km) of other short highways that primarily served local traffic. It was mostly replaced by County Road X56. Aside from a short connector to the state park gate, the route was a part of the Great River Road.

Iowa Highway 920 (Iowa 920) was the northern half of the section of Iowa 150 that was vacated when it was rerouted over Iowa 101. It began at the same intersection in Benton County west of Walker where Iowa 101 ended. Iowa 920 headed east towards Walker, where the highway skirted the edge of town by curving to the south. The route headed due south along Center Point Road for a few miles until it curved southwest and back to the southeast into Center Point. Through Center Point, the highway was known as Franklin Street.[25] In the southern part of town, where Center Point Road turned south, Iowa 920 ended.

Iowa 920 was identified in Senate File 451 and turned over to local jurisdictions on July 1, 2003. The east–west portion near Walker was replaced by CR D62, while the north–south portion became CR W6E.[26]

It was created in 1967 when the US 61 bypass was built. Originally, Iowa 954 consisted of the entire former routing of US 61 through Maquoketa. However, in 1976, the route was split into two sections as the portion within the Maquoketa city limits was turned over to the city. In 1984, the northern segment was relinquished to Jackson County. When the two-lane US 61 bypass became a four-lane freeway in the 1990s, the southern end of Iowa 954 shifted a few feet to the east. The highway was turned over to the City of Maquoketa on July 1, 2003.[29]

It began at an intersection with US 52 two-thirds mile (1.1 km) north of US 52's intersection with CR Z34. It briefly traveled to the west and then curved north. The park entrance was located just three-tenths mile (480 m) from Iowa 985's northern end at US 52.[35] Due to the close proximity to the Mississippi River, the topography of US 52 at the northern end of Iowa 985 only permitted northbound Iowa 985 traffic to turn onto northbound US 52 and vice versa.[36] Iowa 985 was added to the primary highway system on October 1, 1980, and removed on July 1, 2003.[37]
