NORTHWEST ARTERIAL
NORTHWEST ARTERIAL. Four-lane highway stretching four-fifths of a mile from U.S. 20 to Pennsylvania Avenue and then in a gradual northeast direction past Asbury Road on to Kennedy Road at 32nd Street.
Forming part of the eastern boundary of one of the DUBUQUE INDUSTRIAL PARKS, the highway, completed in 1982, cost $2.3 million for the section from Highway 20 to Pennsylvania and $4.4 million to complete the project to Kennedy Road in 1989. A 3-1 ratio of city-borrowed money to federal funds was used for construction. The section up to Pennsylvania was built for $500,000 less than anticipated.
