Norwalk exits on I-35 and the Iowa 5 freeway
Iowa 28 runs north through Norwalk from Iowa 92 at Martensdale. Just across the Warren-Polk county line, it meets the Iowa 5 freeway at a partial-cloverleaf interchange. On that bypass south of Des Moines, exit 99 is Iowa 28, signed for Norwalk and Martensdale, on the Des Moines-Norwalk line. Exit 97, Fleur Drive, serves the airport.
From I-35, two exits are signed for Norwalk:
- Exit 65: County G14, signed for Norwalk and Cumming.
- Exit 68: the north end of the Iowa 5 freeway, signed for Norwalk and Carlisle.
Norwalk's ZIP code is 50211. The city is in Warren County, with small parts in Polk County, and counted about 15,396 residents in the Census Bureau estimate for July 1, 2024.
Breaking down by the Norwalk exits
The Iowa 5 freeway peels off I-35 at exit 68. Tell us whether you were still on I-35 or already on the bypass toward the airport. On either freeway, pull fully onto the right shoulder, turn the hazards on and stay in the car with your belt on. On Iowa 28 in town, a side street or a parking lot is a better place to wait. For a crash or anything blocking the road, call 911.
Norwalk snow ordinance and plowing order
When Norwalk's snow ordinance is in effect, parking is banned on every city street and city-owned lot. The ban holds until the Public Works Director lifts it, and a parked car can get a $35 ticket or be towed. Norwalk has no designated emergency snow routes. Plows clear arterial streets first, then collector streets, then residential streets, so a side street is usually the last to be cleared.
A car towed under the ordinance comes back through Norwalk's own process. We cannot get it released for you.
Norwalk tow truck and flat tire prices
Towing in Norwalk starts from $124, from the Iowa 28 shoulder toward Martensdale or a driveway near the airport. On County G14 or a Norwalk side street, a spare-tire change starts from $98 and a jump start from $85. Lockouts start from $85 and winch-outs from $129. A long tow, a crash or storage can raise the price.
For a tow, a jump start or a tire change, call (515) 585-8351 with the exit number or the cross street. If your car will not start before the plows reach your block, the same call gets it moved. We give you the total and the timing on the phone.

Does Norwalk have snow emergency routes?
No, Norwalk has no designated snow emergency routes. Plows clear arterials first, then collectors, then residential streets.

What should I tell you if I break down at a Norwalk exit?
Give us the exit number, 65 or 68 on I-35 or 99 on Iowa 5, your direction and whether you are on the ramp or the shoulder. Stay belted in with the hazards on, and call 911 first after a crash. Then call (515) 585-8351 for a tow or a tire change near Norwalk.
What will a Norwalk tow cost me?
A Norwalk tow starts from $124, from an Iowa 28 shoulder or a driveway near the airport. A long tow, a crash or storage can raise it. We tell you the total on the call, before anyone is sent, so the price is settled first.
Can you change a flat tire on I-35 near Norwalk?
Yes, a spare-tire change near Norwalk starts from $98, on the I-35 or Iowa 5 shoulder or a side street. We mount your spare so you can drive to a tire shop. If there is no usable spare, we quote a replacement tire or a tow on the same call.
