The Viking Road and Highway 58 intersection in Cedar Falls is marked as one of the most dangerous intersections by the Iowa DOT, reporting 74 crashes at the intersection in the last three years. The DOT is set to start building an underpass at the intersection, which will allow Highway 58 to go underneath Viking Road. This project will cost $32.1 million. They are hopeful the underpass will lower the number of crashes and keep traffic moving. The City of Cedar Falls is set to pay $11.2 million for the project, while the DOT will cover the rest. The project should begin next spring.
