What

The I-74 bridge over the Mississippi River will be replaced, new highway ramps will be installed, and connecting roads will be reconfigured.

Where

The I-74 bridge over the Mississippi River and local connecting roads in Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa and Moline, Illinois.

When

Construction began in July 2017. The Iowa-bound bridge opened in November 2020. The Illinois-bound bridge is anticipated to open by the end of 2021.

Cost

The project is estimated at $1 billion.

Why

The I-74 bridge traffic is overcapacity, leading to long delays and frequent need for repairs. A new bridge is needed to accommodate current and future traffic volumes.
