Comments

The lead seems a bit short --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Lengthened a bit. –Fredddie ™ 22:36, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"US 20 Bus. traffic is forced onto the interstate for 1/2 miles (0.80 km) before it exits via the volleyball interchange which represents the national northern end of U.S. Route 77." - forced on seems like poor wording. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed forced to directed. –Fredddie ™
First three sentences in History read kind of choppy. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Removed a sentence and redid the paragraph structure, hopefully that helps. –Fredddie ™
No need to link interstate highway again in History. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. –Fredddie ™
Bottom of RJL needs {{Jctbtm}}. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking in references. Only need to link Iowa DOT once. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. –Fredddie ™
File:I-29 (IA) map.svg needs a GIS / outline source. --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Not my work, but added. –Fredddie ™
The 85 map is a dead link --Admrboltz (talk) 17:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
