At this week’s Greene County Supervisors meeting, Joyce and Bob Ausberger requested from the Board to install seven signs at the Lincoln Highway Interpretative Center east of Grand Junction.

Joyce Ausberger, treasurer of the Iowa Lincoln Highway Association, says the most recent sign is a decade marker that indicates what each pillar stands for in the construction of the overpass bridge which was constructed with funds from an enhancement grant by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Along with the newest sign, Ausberger points out that there is a welcome sign as motorists enter the site and five signs depict local aspect of the road construction of the Lincoln Highway.

She explains why it’s so important to have these signs at the interpretative site.

“Well right now, its one of the more important places in the whole United States on the Lincoln Highway and people pull off to see all those bridges.  And there isn’t any place else in the country along the Lincoln Highway that follows the road building of the Lincoln Highway.  And so it’s really a unique area and it needs to be interpreted.”

Supervisor Chair John Muir will be organizing a committee that’s made up of several county entities to look at exact placement within the area so that travelers and tourists understand what each piece represents to the county and the Lincoln Highway.
