Mount Pleasant is the Henry County seat, and highways bypass it on two sides. US-34 runs around the north of the city. US-218 with Iowa 27 runs around the east. The old routes through town carry business-route signs.
Three US-218 exits serve the city. Exit 40, 255th Street, is the exit for the Old Threshers grounds. Exit 42 is where US-34 and Iowa 163 join from the east: 42A for the east side, 42B for the business routes into town. Exit 45 leads to US-218 Business, Iowa 438 and US-34 west.
