Abstract
The proposed U.S. 18/218 improvement in Floyd County begins just east of Rudd, at the beginning of the 22-foot pavement section, and extends easterly and southerly to a point approximately 1.5 miles south of Charles City. While an improvement along or paralleling the present highway alignment is planned for the rural portions of the corridor, a bypass, on new location around Charles City, is also proposed. The project length is approximately 15.1 miles. See Figure 1. The proposed action would provide for a four-lane divided section, possibly with some initial two-lane construction on four-lane right-of-way. Two alternative bypass alignments of Charles City are being studied, on relocation near the west and south corporate limits of that community. While quarter-mile access control spacing is proposed for the areas of the corridor para I lel1ng present Highway 218, either of the Charles City bypass alternatives would be constructed as full access controlled facilities, with access via interchange only.
