Cedar Falls, IA
TO: I-35
Clear Lake, IA

This exit list uses mileage rather than mile marker numbers since there are three different sets of mile markers involved. The mileage starts from the exit of US 20 and IA 58 and ascend from there. Exit numbers are also given when they are present; the exit numbers for the east-west US 18 decrease as you scroll downward, since this list runs from south to north.

Thanks go to Mark Hasty for originally providing the US 18 bypass exit info in an April 2000 e-mail.
