Route Description
Interstate 129 begins along U.S. Route 20 on the western edge of South Sioux City, Nebraska, just west of exit 1, a cloverleaf interchange with U.S. Route 75 and U.S. Route 77. US 77 travels north through South Sioux City before ending at Interstate 29 in Sioux City while US 75 joins I-129 and US 20. One mile (1.6 km) later, I-129 / US 20 / US 75 intersect Dakota Avenue at a partial cloverleaf interchange. U.S. Route 20 Business is designated along Dakota Avenue.
East of Dakota Avenue, I-129 / US 20 / US 75 travels south of South Sioux City and passes through rolling farmland. For the rest of I-129's length, the two directions of I-129 / US 20 / US 75 traffic are separated by a Jersey barrier instead of a grassy median. The three routes cross the Missouri River and immediately intersect Interstate 29 at an interchange. Due to the minimum amount of space along the Missouri River banks, the I-29 interchange is a modified two-level cloverstack interchange. At I-29, US 20 and US 75 continue east around Sioux City and I-129 ends.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
