U.S. Route 67 in Iowa
U.S. Highway 67 (US 67) is a U.S. Highway in extreme eastern Iowa. The route begins in Davenport at the Rock Island Centennial Bridge where it crosses the Mississippi River and ends at an intersection with US 52 and Iowa Highway 64 (Iowa 64) west of Sabula. It passes through Bettendorf, Le Claire, and Clinton. Except for Folletts, every community which US 67 enters sits along the Mississippi River. As such, most of the route is part of the Great River Road, an All-American Road.
US 67 was created in late 1934, when it replaced US 55 from Davenport to Dubuque. The route ended then at the foot of the Julien Dubuque Bridge, which carries US 20. The northern half of the route, from Sabula to Dubuque, was overlapped by US 52 until 1967. Most of the state highways that intersect US 67 do so within sight of their Mississippi River bridge crossing.
US 67 crosses the Mississippi River into Davenport on the Rock Island Centennial Bridge. Adjacent to the bridge is Modern Woodmen Park, home of the Midwest League's Quad City River Bandits. Vehicles can continue to the north on Gaines Street, but US 67 traffic is forced to make a U-turn to the south to connect to River Drive. Prior to 2010, River Drive carried U.S. Route 61 (US 61), but the street now carries its business route. River Drive is prone to seasonal flooding from the Mississippi, as was the case in 1993, 1997, 2001, 2008, and 2011.
In downtown Davenport, US 61 Business intersects US 67 at two one-way streets, Harrison Street southbound and Brady Street northbound. Continuing east along the river, River Drive passes under the Government Bridge. It enters Bettendorf and becomes two one-way streets, Grant Street southbound and State Street northbound. The two streets intersect Interstate 74 (I-74) and US 6 at the foot of the I-74 Bridges near downtown Bettendorf.
Through Bettendorf and Riverdale, where the route turns to the northeast, US 67 is separated from the Mississippi riverfront by industry. Alcoa, which employs over 2000 workers at its Davenport works, is the largest plant along US 67.
Just south of Le Claire is the I-80 interchange, where US 67 passes underneath the Fred Schwengel Memorial Bridge. In Le Claire the Mississippi River bends sharply and the highway follows. It heads through the picturesque downtown area, where many shops and even the street on which US 67 uses, Cody Road, pay homage to the Le Claire area's most famous son, Buffalo Bill Cody.
Between Le Claire and Princeton, US 67 continues to closely parallel the river. This stretch of the road allows for good opportunities for bird watching. Where there are open views of the river, you can see water fowl on the water amongst lily pads. This area is near the southern end of the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge.
North of Princeton, US 67 turns inland to cross the Wapsipinicon River into Clinton County. At Folletts, the road takes a 90-degree turn back to the east towards Camanche. It then runs parallel to the river, which is obscured by trees surrounding its backwaters. At Camanche, it passes around the city to the west and north. At Washington Boulevard, which is the former alignment of the route through Camanche, it turns to the north onto a four-lane, undivided highway, which passes an industrial area and over Union Pacific's Overland Route. As it enters Clinton, it joins with US 30.
