US 65 leaves the Iowa 330 expressway at the interchange with Iowa 117 north of Mingo. US 65 and Iowa 117 form the northern and southern branches, respectively, of a crossroad. The expressway portion of Iowa 330 extends on for 20 miles (32 km), passing the communities of Rhodes and Melbourne. It meets US 30 at a diamond interchange just west of Marshalltown. 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) later, now on a two-lane road, Iowa 330 turns north of Albion, bypassing Marshalltown to the west.[1] On the way to Albion, Iowa 330 crosses the Union Pacific Railroad main line and the Iowa River.[3] North of Albion, Iowa 330 turns east and travels 4 miles (6.4 km) before ending at Iowa 14.[1]
History
The highway was originally designated as Iowa 330 and paved in the late 1940s. In 1969 the route was extended southwestward from US 30 to its current terminus, replacing part of Iowa 64 (this section was originally Iowa 88). In 1989, it was re-routed to bypass Marshalltown, replacing Iowa 233, a spur route from Iowa 14 to Albion. In 2002, the 20 miles (32 km) between US 65 and US 30 became an expressway.[citation needed]
