Shuttle tours to new I-74 bridge on Wednesday

Posted

The public is invited to a celebration of the iconic new Interstate 74 bridge between 1-4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 1, where attendees can take their first steps on the bridge before it opens for traffic this month.

The new bridge connects Iowa and Illinois with an iconic arch structure welcoming residents, visitors and new opportunities to the Quad Cities. Handcrafted with the help of Quad Cities trades and businesses, the new structure will be more than twice as wide as the old bridge, providing four lanes in each direction, as well as a new bicycle and pedestrian path.

Park at the Taxslayer Center parking lot to catch continuous shuttles to the new bridge.

Quad-City leaders are scheduled to make speeches at 1:30 p.m.
