The Iowa Department of Transportation gave public notice Friday of corridor preservation for the Interstate 380 corridor from approximately one mile north of Forevergreen Road in North Liberty to U.S. 30 in Cedar Rapids, in Johnson and Linn counties. This notice includes a depiction of the corridor preservation area which is available here.
Corridor preservation is a tool the Iowa DOT uses to preserve land for future highway needs. It does not restrict development in any way but merely offers the DOT a chance to review the proposed development when notified by the city or county.
The Iowa DOT implemented corridor preservation for this project on July 29, 2021. It is the intent of the Iowa DOT to continue to utilize corridor preservation for this project. The Iowa DOT may need to acquire additional right of way or property rights within this designated area. This notice shall be valid for a period of three years from the date of public notification and may be refiled by the Iowa DOT every three years.
