The old I-74 Bridge is set to be demolished later this month. The demolition operation is scheduled to take place June 18th. The Iowa Department of Transportation plans to use controlled explosives during the removal of suspension cables and towers on the old bridge spanning over the Mississippi River between Bettendorf, Iowa and Moline, Illinois. Certain areas will be temporarily closed during the process, including the new I-74 River Bridge, Leach Park and the riverfront trail in Bettendorf.
