Freeway 561 in Scott and Clinton Counties, From Interstate 80 North, to U.S. 30 Expressway, Iowa
The proposed project would begin at Interstate 80 in Scott County and extend northerly to the proposed U.S. 30 Expressway in Clinton County. The approximate length of the project would be 14.6 miles. The primary negative impacts of the project would be the removal of high quality agricultural land from productivity and the dislocation of a number of residences and businesses. The clearing of wooded areas within the freeway corridor would also constitute a disruption of wildlife habitat. Noise and air pollution would increase in the immediate areas where the project is on new location. Overall upgrading of transportation facilities in the area now served primarily by substandard U.S. 61 would be the major positive impact of the project.
