The highway was designated in 1970, replacing Arizona State Route464 and Utah State Route47 as well as a portion of the old alignment of US 160 in Utah. In 1981, US 191 was routed over the northern section of US163, effectively truncating the northern terminus to Bluff, Utah from Crescent Junction. The state of Utah briefly had plans for a different routing of US163 north of Bluff. These plans were rejected, resulting in discrepancies between the signed route and the official designation by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials that were not resolved until 2008. The route number does not follow the numbering convention for U.S. highways, as the number 163 would normally be used for a spur of U.S. Route 63; however, these two highways have never connected.
Iowa 163 is a divided highway with some freeway sections for most of its length and serves as a connector between Des Moines with Burlington.
Route description
Iowa Highway 163 begins at the corner of E. 14th Street, which carries U.S. Highway 69 (US69), and E. University Avenue in Des Moines. It heads east along E. University traveling 3⁄4 mile (1.2km) to Interstate 235 (I-235). There is no direct access to eastbound I-235 from eastbound Iowa163. Traffic must take E. 21st Street to Easton Boulevard to access eastbound I-235. Highway 163 continues east past the Iowa State Fairgrounds on its way to Pleasant Hill where it meets U.S. Highway 65 at a diamond interchange.
