The truck route through Dubuque required products of the [[JOHN DEERE DUBUQUE WORKS]] to be carried south along Central Avenue and past the [[DUBUQUE COUNTY COURTHOUSE]] where a difficult right-angle turn had to be made to go west. Trucks then had to negotiate another right-angle turn to reach Locust Street which allowed the material to reach Dodge, then a two-lane road. Another turn into traffic either allowed the truck to turn left toward the [[JULIEN DUBUQUE BRIDGE]] or continue west through many stoplights on its way west out of the city.

[[FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.]] placed an advertisement in the [[TELEGRAPH HERALD]] on September 10, 1972 stating that Dubque was the only major Iowa city with no four-lane hookups to the national's interstate highway system."

The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Transportation Study was the first of several major studies done around 1970. The Study analyzed future traffic needs based on estimated traffic in 1990. The study outlined which roads needed improvement and where new [[STREETS]] should be constructed. The priorities included:

1) a northwest expressway that would bypass Dubuque by linking U.S. 20 with U.S. 52.

2) widening U.S. 20 (Dodge Street) to increase its capacity and traffic flow,

3) extending the proposed freeway 520 eastward with a bridge across the [[MISSISSIPPI RIVER]] south of Dubuque and building the 562 highway through downtown Dubuque which would include another new bridge at [[CITY ISLAND]] and an expressway northward up the Couler Valley along U.S. 52.
