371:. The two highways went in separate directions along I-29 – US 20 follow southbound I-29 and US 77 followed northbound I-29. Iowa 7 formed the northern leg of the interchange. It traveled into the western edge of downtown Sioux City along Wesley Way and Perry Street before it turned to the northwest along 7th Street. It followed 7th for a few blocks and turned northeast onto Otoe Street, which became Hamilton Street shortly thereafter. From here, Iowa 7 runs along Hamilton Street for about two-thirds mile (1,100 m) before a series of curves to the east and then back to the north took the highway out of the city. At the Woodbury–Plymouth county line, the highway became increasingly rural in character. The highway continued gradually curving to the east as it headed north while following

The routes split as No. 29 turned north onto McDonald Street and No. 12 continued on Stone Park Boulevard. No. 29 followed McDonald Street for a short way until it became Perry Creek Road, which curved east and north out of Sioux City. The northern end of the highway was one mile (1.6 km) north of its final end at No. 27. By 1925, the highway was paved within

In two separate meetings, Woodbury and Plymouth county officials talked to Iowa State Highway Commission officials about taking over the highway in each county. In Plymouth County, the

February 1956 to widen Hamilton and Otoe streets which would move Iowa 29 one block to the east. The straightened route opened in July 1957.

Through Sioux City, the highway was well traveled, especially near I-29 and the downtown area; the inverse was true at the rural northern end. Subsequently, Iowa 7 was removed from the primary highway system in 1968.
