In Sioux Center, the City Council approved a predesign agreement during its June 2 meeting for Highway 75 work from 12th Street North to 20th Street North. This includes two lanes of traffic each way and center turn lanes. Construction is slated to begin in 2028 at Perkin’s Corner and continue south into Sioux Center in 2029. Stoplights are planned for the 12th Street Northeast intersection, with potential for future stoplights at 20th Street. A multiuse pedestrian pathway is also in the works.
