This route follows Albia Rd east from US 34 to Wapello St.
GMSV (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0129462,-92.4693448,3a,75y,85.41h,91.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqYtuto5lIexRtwpLkGVDLQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

Oh wow. I recall this being the original routing, then it was changed to what's in the HB per an AASHTO application (I forget whether this was when we were still first drafting the US routes, or after I handed Iowa over to Jeff). Looks like signage has yet to catch up?

That's old 34, yes, but the routing changed probably because of the ancient bridge
In May 2007 AASHTO approved a rerouting of Business US 34 so that it follows Quincy Avenue between US 34 and Albia Road instead of following Albia Road to US 34; Brian McMillin reported that signs had been changed along the route itself, but not along US 34, as of October 2007.
And there's only one sign that shows it. (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0092799,-92.4370575,3a,75y,349.08h,87.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQhWPTe-NoCwddZHKPUaT5g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)
I think I have photographed it, just never updated the page. I told myself I was going to go through my entire collection and see what routes needed refreshed for pages, even if it meant refining/adding older ones. Still on the list somewhere.

Unfortunately that sign is of little use to someone headed eastbound. The signage on 34 still had not been updated 2 weeks ago.
