History
Iowa 183 was designated in the 1930s along the same path the route follows today; however the route where it began east of Mondamin was US 75. By 1947, the only section of Iowa 183 that had been paved were Script error: No such module "convert". between Iowa 37 and Ute.[3] Within ten years the entire route had been paved.[4] After Interstate 29 (I-29) was built along the eastern bank of the Missouri River, Iowa 183 underwent some changes. In 1968, when US 75 was moved onto I-29, Iowa 183 was extended south to US 30 at Missouri Valley.[5] A year later, it was extended further south along US 30A, ending at US 6 in Council Bluffs. The highway was Script error: No such module "convert". long at its longest extent.[6] Starting in the early 1980s, the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) began to shorten Iowa 183's route. By 1983, the route had been truncated to Council Bluffs's northern city limits. On July 1, 2003, the highway was shortened back to its original southern end east of Mondamin, now along Iowa 127.[7]
