History

Iowa Highway 70 was created in 1969. It replaced the former Iowa Highway 76 as that number was reassigned to a highway in northeastern Iowa.[5] The original route ran from Columbus City to West Liberty. In the mid-1990s, a short bypass was built around Columbus Junction.[6] Iowa 70 traffic was rerouted onto the bypass where it ends today. The old segment stayed remained in the primary highway system until July 1, 2003, when it was turned over to Louisa County.[7]
