Where I-80 exit 27 is

Exit 27 sits at mile 27.5 in Pottawattamie County. Here I-880 leaves I-80 and heads west toward North Omaha and Sioux City. Just northeast of Neola, I-80 curves east to meet the east end of I-880 at a directional T interchange. Its ramps connect only the two interstates, so drivers bound for Neola itself take exit 23.

I-880 runs 19.6 miles, every one of them in Pottawattamie County, from this junction to I-29 near Loveland. The neighboring exits are 23 (mile 23.2, county road L55 to Neola) and 29 (mile 29.5, county road L66 to Minden).

Rest area near exit 27

The junction has no services of its own. Heading west, the Underwood rest area at milepost 19 is about 8 miles on. If your car still drives, that lot beats any ramp shoulder as a place to wait. Heading east, the Love's at exit 34 is 7 miles ahead, listed as open 24 hours with overnight parking.

If the car will not move, stay buckled in on the right shoulder. Stop clear of the spots where the I-880 ramps peel off and merge back in.

Calling us from the I-880 split

Saying you are near Neola is not enough here, because two interstates meet at this spot. Tell us if you are on I-80 east or west of the split, on an I-880 ramp, or on I-880 itself. Call (319) 319-4889 with that and the last mile marker, and we quote the price and timing before anyone is sent.

  1. Signal early and pull onto the right shoulder past the ramp split.
  2. Hazards on, belt fastened.
  3. Read the last green mile marker and note your direction.
  4. If smoke or a fuel smell forces you out, walk well clear of the lanes and stand behind the guardrail.

If anyone is hurt, the car sits in a live lane or you feel unsafe where you stopped, dial 911 first.

I-80 blizzard and flood closures

Exit 27 marked the west end of the March 15, 2026 blizzard closure. That day Iowa DOT shut both directions of I-80 from mile marker 27, at this interchange, to the Jordan Creek Parkway exit at mile marker 121. If the road shuts while you are here, read what to do when I-80 closes.

I-880 itself only dates from 2019. Iowa DOT asked for part of I-680 to be renumbered so drivers would be less confused during Missouri River floods. The route is meant to carry I-29 traffic around Council Bluffs when flooding closes I-29 and I-680.

Tow and winch-out prices

From the I-880 junction, a tow starts at $124 and a winch-out at $130. A flat tire change starts at $98, and a jump start at $85. Every price on our list is a from-price, and the I-80 cost page explains what can raise it.
