Waverly exits on the US-218 bypass

US-218 and Iowa 27 bypass Waverly as a four-lane highway, with three exits for the town:

Exit 198: US-218 Business into town, and the exit for Waverly Health Center.
Exit 203: Iowa 3, signed for Waverly and Shell Rock.
Exit 205: the north end of the bypass, US-218 Business again, signed for Waverly Airport.

Between them, the business route follows the old 6.6-mile road through Waverly. It runs together with Iowa 3 for about a mile downtown. South of town, exit 195 (County C50) serves Janesville. From the east, US-63 exit 178, in Bremer County north of Denver, is the Iowa 3 interchange signed for Waverly and Oelwein.

The US-218 rebuild between Janesville and Waverly

Iowa DOT is rebuilding US-218 between Janesville and Waverly. Since July 13, 2026, both directions have run on the existing northbound lanes, one lane each way. East-side driveways are limited to right turns in and out. Iowa DOT expects the work to finish by mid-December 2026, weather permitting.

With oncoming traffic one lane over, a car that stops inside that work zone has little room to get clear. If yours still rolls, keep going to the end of the zone or the next open exit before you stop.

Truck traffic on the Waverly bypass

Trucks are about 18% of the traffic on US-218 and Iowa 27 in Bremer County. The busiest stretch carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. With every Iowa rest area on an interstate, US-218 has none, so a stop usually means the shoulder or the next exit.

Where to wait in Waverly

Waverly's streets are a safer place to wait than the US-218 shoulder, so if the car can make it to an exit, take it. On the shoulder itself, keep the hazards on, stay belted in and keep the doors on the traffic side shut.
