Highway 75 Redesign
Our Highway 75 corridor serves as part of the US highway system and as our main street.
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.
Construction is slated for 2023-24, with project completion set for 2025.

PLANNED SPEED LIMITS
Proposed speed limit changes on the corridor include:
Designed for safety
Landscaped medians calm traffic and create a safe zone for pedestrians crossing the street. They also decrease the number of conflict points where traffic turns. Streetscape is being designed with a focus on visibility and safety.
Pedestrian routes and crossings
Rapid-flashing beacons are planned for about 10 pedestrian crossings along Highway 75. Crossings will be painted, and some crossings are planned to have colored concrete in central Sioux Center. Sidewalks are part of the total design, running along the most of the 2.5-mile project.
For years to come
City staff and the city council are considering how the highway can best function and serve the community today and 40 years or more from today, the anticipated lifespan of the road design.
A Sioux Center Welcome
Highway 75 is our community's front door. Streetscape elements can create a welcome impression and a theme that carries through the community.
Your Feedback
Ideas and comments shared by the public have influenced current concept drawings. Thank you for your ongoing feedback through the community open house and Highway 75 surveys. The city will continue to seek public feedback throughout the design process.
