Downtown Moline Road Closure

A section of road in downtown Moline will close Monday permanently,  as part of the I-74 bridge project. Weather permitting, 5th Avenue between I-74 and 21st Street will be closed.

Alternative routes include using 4th, 6th, or 7th avenues.

The Illinois and Iowa transportation departments also advise local motorists that a section of 19th Street will be reduced to one lane in both directions as part of the bridge project - that's between 7th and 12th avenues. Utility work should be completed by early May. 

A native of Detroit, Herb Trix began his radio career as a country-western disc jockey in Roswell, New Mexico (“KRSY, your superkicker in the Pecos Valley”), in 1978. After a stint at an oldies station in Topeka, Kansas (imagine getting paid to play “Louie Louie” and “Great Balls of Fire”), he wormed his way into news, first in Topeka, and then in Freeport Illinois.
