In 2002, the Road Use Tax Fund Committee, a mix of city, county, and state transportation officials, met to review and recommend changes to Iowa's public road system. The report was necessitated by increasing costs to maintain the highway system and a level of funding that was not keeping up with the rising costs. The committee identified over 700 miles (1,100 km) of state highways, including a significant portion of Iowa 333, which could be turned over to local jurisdictions.[9] Most of the committee's recommendations were accepted and on July 1, 2003, and over 600 miles (970 km) of state highways were turned over to the counties or local jurisdictions.[10] Iowa 333 east of the eastern junction with US 275 was given back to Fremont County and became CR J64 once again.[8]
Major intersections
