History
In November 2006, major work was completed on the Upgrade 74 project for the portion of I-74 in the
I-74 Bridge replacement project
This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: The I-74 Bridge is no longer in talks about rebuilding but is currently being built.(November 2020) |
The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) planned to build a new bridge to replace the aging I-74 Bridge. The Iowa-bound bridge opened in 1935; the Illinois-bound bridge in 1958.[8] In addition to replacing the twin bridges, the scope of the bistate coalition's plan includes updating seven miles (11 km) of I-74 mainline and interchanges from 53rd Street in Davenport to the Avenue of the Cities in Moline.[9] The new twin span fully opened on December 1, 2021.[10]
