Byway Directions
Enter northern Pottawattamie County on County Road L34 which passes under I-680 and continues south with horizon-to-horizon views of farm fields that seem to roll away from the Byway.
Nearly 14 miles later, when the Byway meets County Road G81, you should turn right (south) to follow that for 3.5 miles to U.S. 6 which leads to Council Bluffs.
At U.S. 6, turn right (east) to go to South 7th Street (Iowa Highway 192), a one-way street going south to the South Expressway which passes under I-20/80 to meet the South Omaha Bridge Road, 3 miles later.
At the South Omaha Bridge Road (also called Iowa Highway 92), you turn left (east) to pass over I-29 and then, less than 2 miles after leaving the South Expressway, meet Harry Langdon Boulevard.
At Harry Langdon Boulevard, turn right (south). On your left is the Iowa School for the Deaf. Shortly afterward, the boulevard becomes Wabash Avenue, and then County Road L35, for just more than 6 miles, leads you along the base of the Hills and sometimes rides high enough on their flanks to provide vistas of the Missouri River Valley before you exit Pottawattamie County.
