The new underpass on primary highway No. 169 is located approximately nine miles north of Humboldt, and about a mile south of the Llvermore-Bode corners. It carries the Rock Island railway at which crossing three people met death at different times within the past few years.

This underpass eliminates one of the most fatal railway and highway crossings in the state ot Iowa. The original crossing was obscured by a grove of trees on one side and by a -high bank on the other so that neither the traffic on either the railroad or the highway could see more than a few feet of the crossing before they were upon it.
