Council Bluffs Interstate System Improvements

Welcome!

Welcome to the Council Bluffs Interstate System (CBIS) improvements project home page. This Web site includes general project information, as well as detailed information regarding construction, design and environmental studies.

The CBIS improvements project is a major effort focused on improving Interstates 80, 29 and 480 within the Council Bluffs metropolitan area. The CBIS improvements project is intended to improve mobility through the region by upgrading the I-80 and I-29 corridors, improving the condition of the roadways, reducing traffic congestion and crashes, and adding capacity.

Approximately 18 miles of mainline interstate (I-80, I-29 and I-480) and 14 interchanges (three interstate-to-interstate interchanges and 11 interstate-to-local street interchanges) are included in the study area, as shown below.
