History

Iowa Highway 130 was designated on January 1, 1969, on a former section of Iowa Highway 150. Iowa Highway 150 was intended as an extension of U.S. Highway 150, whose route wound through Rock Island, Illinois; however, this never happened. Eventually, Iowa Highway 150 was shortened to a highway between Cedar Rapids and Calmar, and the section from Tipton eastward redesignated as Iowa Highway 130.
Until the mid-1980s, Highway 130 extended to U.S. Highway 67 in downtown Davenport, following Northwest Boulevard and Harrison Street. However, the highway was truncated at Interstate 80 in 1985, one year after Harrison and Brady streets were redesignated for one-way traffic. Harrison Street became the southbound artery of U.S. Highway 61. [1].
