Eastern Hills Drive connects US-6 and IA-92. The project consisted of thousands of feet of concrete pipe and two large box culverts for storm drainage. The 8-inch-thick concrete roadway and bike trail was the keynote of the project and includes the city’s first roundabout. The project successfully transferred heavy rural and suburban traffic off State Orchard Road/Greenview Road and onto the new Eastern Hills Drive.
